The philosophy of the Interior Design program is based on a concern for human beings and the creation of interior settings that support human activities and values.
We are focused on how design excellence and innovation can tackle issues surrounding the human condition in the built environmental, especially around health and well-being and environmental stewardship.
Additionally, we are deeply interested in how qualities of spatial design impact human experience and performance.
Program Tracks
The degree offers two tracks for completion (non-thesis project or thesis).
The Non-Thesis Project Track combines studio experiences with qualitative and quantitative research methodologies to further the understanding and increase awareness of the interface between human behavior and interior environments.
Students undertake a design-research project, developing creative, theoretical, and/or analytical frameworks in the pursuit of discoveries that solve design problems.
The Thesis Track focuses on developing and executing an applied or theoretical research investigation which contributes to the interior design body of knowledge.
Students should align research interests with faculty expertise. Students on this track are well prepared to enter the Individual Interdisciplinary Doctoral Program (IIDP).
Student Opportunities
Interior Design graduate students are leaders in the School of Design and Construction (SDC), regularly serving as highly valued teaching and research assistants. Interior Design and Architecture share core graduate coursework and a yearly international study tour.
The student experience is enriched by interdisciplinary activities within the SDC such as lectures, exhibits, study tours, study abroad, design competitions, internships, and integrated studios, all which allow for educational and professional engagement on the local, regional, national, and international levels.
The Interior Design program supports dissemination of design-research in academic venues and competitions.
In recent years, both thesis and non-thesis graduate student work has been peer-reviewed and invited for presentation at the following conferences: Academy of Neuroscience in Architecture (ANFA), European Architectural Envisioning Association (EAEA), Environmental Design Research Association (EDRA), Interior Design Educators Council (IDEC), and Western States Public Health Association.
Additionally, creative accomplishments have been recognized by Retail Design Institute, Wiley, and IDEC.
About Us
The School of Design and Construction is the premier destination for integrated design and construction education in the nation.
Having all of the built environment disciplines within the same school—Architecture, Construction Engineering, Construction Management, Interior Design and Landscape Architecture—and engineering programs within the same college, provides the opportunity to deliver a truly integrated, transformative, and unparalleled educational experience for students.
Students in the SDC will experience transformative learning such as travel, competitions, and community engagement that fosters soft skills, technical competence, and social responsibility to prepare you for the workforce.
At the same time, we are professionally and community engaged, bringing together academics, industry, students, and stakeholders in a way that leads to productive dialogue and positive action. We are pursuing rigorous research that leads to innovation in the design and construction fields.
Located in the Palouse region in Pullman, Washington, the school learns from and contributes to its place through community engagement and industry partnerships.
As a land grant institution, our mission focuses on producing and sharing practical knowledge through research and instruction for the betterment of society, the environment, and the construction industry.
We also extend ourselves throughout the state, nation, and world in order to improve the built environment for its inhabitants. Students are able to travel to various locations across the globe, build technical skills, and perform research, and community service.
Students learn from some of the brightest, most committed and dynamic faculty and staff in the country, while making connections to future employers and professionals.
The School of Design and Construction is a distinct culture and an academic team that focuses on fostering people and place, workforce readiness, technical competence, and innovation.
The Master of Arts (M.A.) program in Interior Architecture & Design is a thirty-six (36) unit program that will provide students with a dynamic learning environment and a curriculum to prepare them for professional practice.
MID students will enjoy all the benefits of a Design Institute education including the small class size, personalized advisement from experienced faculty and the collaborative nature of our program, as well as DI’s total focus on the field of interior design.
Master of Science in Interior Design First Professional degree offers graduate education in Interior Design to students who do not have a previous professional degree in Interior Design or Architecture.
The curriculum of the Georgia State Interior Design program ensures comprehensive exposure to an array of perspectives as represented by the various approaches to media, conceptual development, content, visual representation and a variety of teaching styles exhibited by our faculty.
The MIA program in The Design School is a studio-based degree program that provides a focused experience for students with an undergraduate degree in interior design or architecture. For students without this background, an additional three semesters of study are available.
