Master of Interior Design Degree Program at Harrington College of Design

 
For those who already have an interior design background but are looking to take your skills and career to a new level, the new Master of Interior Design at Harrington may be just fit your expectations.

 

The Master of Interior Design program is a course of graduate study in the field of interior design with an emphasis on application of evidence-based research to individualized design specialties. The program includes required core courses in interior design theory, research methods, and studio-based courses in which theory and method are integrated through application in project-based work.

A student in the Master of Interior Design program is expected to develop a specialized area of knowledge and application that will be demonstrated in a Thesis project. The 36 Semester Hour course of study is structured as a four-semester program, combining thesis investigation and advanced course work, for the holder of a bachelor’s degree in interior design or closely-related field, such as architecture.

At the conclusion of the program, a graduate of the Master of Interior Design degree will:

  • Solve advanced problems in the interior built environment by applying the theory and methods of design to a chosen specialized field
  • Demonstrate a depth of “market knowledge” of an interior environment or project type sufficient to lead design professionals and users in the programming effort for that project type
  • Collaborate with others both inside and outside of the interior design field to apply a diverse range of knowledge, skills and points of view to the solution of interior design problems
  • Apply third-party research effectively and appropriately in the solution of interior design problems, and understand the role of evidence-based research
  • Model a user-centered view of interior design problems through integration of research and collaborative methods
  • Propose design solutions that can be demonstrated to sustain natural resources and create healthy and safe interior environments
  • Integrate current digital technology in the programming, design and presentation of interior environments
  • Demonstrate an understanding of the business, entrepreneurial, government and not-for-profit contexts of design decision-making
