Klaudia, MA Interior Design
Klaudia mapped out a strategy for becoming an interior designer. She did her research, found Suffolk’s CIDA-accredited program, left her banking job and was ready to move back to Massachusetts. Her last step was how to expedite her preparation for grad school.
My Background
After obtaining my BA, I worked in the banking industry for seven years. I have always been a creative person, but had considered art to be just a hobby, not something I could actually do for a living. I finally decided that I wanted a career that would be creatively enriching and rewarding. Being the daughter of a contractor and great wood worker, I have always been interested in interior architecture and design, so I decided to go forward with my career change and started researching schools on the east coast.
My Path to Grad School
I was looking for a CIDA accredited school in Massachusetts and that’s when I found Suffolk. I was interested in the Pre-Graduate Program, because my degree was in an unrelated field, and I knew much of my undergraduate coursework wasn’t applicable to the preparatory classes required for graduate study in interior design. The summer Pre-Graduate Program though was a way for me to get that training over a short period of time, so that I could be ready for the Master’s Program. Taking four courses in ten-weeks made me appreciate the intensity of the interior design program. I feel that it really prepared me for my first semester of graduate school and gave me an advantage over those who had not gone through the Pre-Graduate Program, or as we all called it “Art School Boot Camp.”
