The Master of Fine Arts in Interior Architecture (MFA) offered by the New England School of Art & Design at Suffolk University is a 60-credit, studio-based degree designed specifically for students with baccalaureate degrees in interior design, architecture, or other closely related fields. The program provides students with the opportunity for advanced intellectual pursuit and the development of leadership skills in the field of interior architecture. The intent of the MFA is to prepare students to practice globally, to teach at the university level, and to achieve in-depth inquiry and advanced study in the field of Interior Architecture.

The coursework will provide professional proficiency, knowledge and research in the student’s selected area of inquiry including (1) Sustainable Design, (2) Environmental Graphic Design, (3) Advanced Lighting Design and (4) Design Studies (the exploration of a specific contemporary issue movement or topic).

The MFA in Interior Architecture program is studio based and students will complete their degree requirements at NESADSU.  The proposed 60 credits of coursework beyond the undergraduate level will achieve an integration of the building skin, structural systems, MEP (mechanical, electrical & plumbing systems), and life safety issues as described in the definition of the discipline of Interior Architecture by The US Department of Education, Institute of Educational Sciences.
