Program Description
The combined BS in Architectural Studies and MS in Interior Architecture 4+1 Accelerated Dual Degree Program is intended for students who wish to pursue a graduate degree in Interior Architecture while completing the undergraduate, professional program in Architectural Studies. This program enables an undergraduate Architectural Studies major to complete three graduate courses (totaling 11 credits) required by the MS in Interior Architecture program while completing the undergraduate BS in Architectural Studies degree. The students also take four 3-credit undergraduate interior design courses while completing their BS in Architectural Studies degree. Students also receive a 3-credit advanced standing for INTD-307/AHST-306 History 4: Modern/Contemporary History. By overlapping the two programs, a student achieves advanced standing in the 2-year 49-credit version of the MS in Interior Architecture program while an undergraduate and can complete the MS in Interior Architecture degree with an additional 26 credits. Upon graduation from the BS in Architectural Studies program, a student may fulfill the requirements for the MS in Interior Architecture degree in a summer and two semesters of full-time study, for a total reduction of two semesters of graduate coursework and tuition.
