Program Description
The combined Bachelor of Architecture and Master of Interior Architecture 5+1 Accelerated Degree is an innovative educational model that enables students to earn two accredited professional degrees. The program’s transdisciplinary nature encourages students to think broadly and envision innovative solutions to design-related problems. The 5+1 BArch and MSIA Accelerated Dual Degree creates a pathway for students who wish to pursue a graduate degree in Interior Architecture while completing the undergraduate professional program in Architecture.
The 5+1 Accelerated Degree enables an undergraduate Architecture major to complete three graduate courses required by the Master of Interior Architecture program, for a maximum of 11 graduate course credits, while completing the undergraduate Bachelor of Architecture degree. By overlapping the two programs, a student achieves advanced standing in the 3-year, 69-credit Master of Interior Architecture program as an undergraduate and can complete the MSIA with an additional 26 credits. Upon graduation from the BArch program, a student may fulfill the MSIA requirements in two semesters of full-time study, comprising the fall and spring semesters.
