About the Program

The Interior Architecture program offers a post-professional degree for students with a background in interior design or architecture. The curriculum reinforces design fundamentals; advances technical skills and conceptual approaches; allows for specialization in areas such as, but not limited to health/wellness, making/fabrication, or technology/representation; and culminates in a comprehensive thesis research and design project. Comprised of 48.0 graduate credits, the program can be completed in 5-6 quarters. Students select from a range of studio, seminar, and elective courses to create a program tailored to their professional interest.

The program is closely affiliated with the graduate Design Research and Urban Strategy programs within the Department of Architecture, Design and Urbanism, and provides access to graduate programs across the University.
