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 Architectural Studies program and earning a first professional degree. This program enables an undergraduate Architectural Studies major to complete three graduate courses (11 credits) required for the MS in Interior Architecture while completing the BS in Architectural Studies. In addition, students complete four 3-credit undergraduate interior design courses (12 credits) as part of the BS in Architectural Studies. Students also receive 3 credits of advanced standing for INTD-307/AHST-306 History 4: Modern/Contemporary History.
By overlapping the two programs, a student achieves advanced standing in the 3-year, 69-credit MS in Interior Architecture program as an undergraduate and can complete the MS in Interior Architecture with an additional 23 credits. Upon graduation from the BS in Architectural Studies program, a student may complete the requirements for the MS in Interior Architecture in two semesters of full-time study, reducing the total by two semesters of graduate coursework and tuition.
