The Master of Arts program in Interior Architecture offered by the New England School of Art & Design at Suffolk University is appropriate for those who possess an undergraduate degree and who are interested in extending their knowledge of the issues confronting the professional interior designer, as well as the design and research skills required of the successful practitioner.
The Master’s in Interior Architecture is a CIDA-accredited professional level program consisting of a minimum of 30 credits of graduate study (level 700 or higher). The program is designed for those who have earned an undergraduate degree in a field not related to the visual arts or who have earned an undergraduate degree in an area of the visual arts other than interior design or architecture. Candidates who have not completed an undergraduate program of study substantially equivalent to the BFA in interior design will be required to complete additional foundational (undergraduate equivalent) coursework, as determined by the interior architecture program director. If you have already completed an undergraduate degree in interior design, such as a BA or BFA, you may also be admitted to the program, but your course of study will vary considerably from that outlined here and will be determined on an individual basis by the program director.
