The Master of Arts in Environmental Design Degree (MED) in SPDC is shared by the Interior Design and the Landscape Architecture programs. The MED program is a post-professional degree that provides graduate students with advanced knowledge and understanding. We train prospective or practicing professionals to address the complex interdisciplinary nature of environmental design.
The graduate program is designed to provide an alternative to traditional professional degrees by addressing the needs of students with undergraduate design backgrounds who wish to work in an interdisciplinary setting while pursuing an area of individual interest.
Students will develop a highly individualized program of study with the guidance of their faculty advisors. Students who are enrolled in the MED program will be able to take courses on human environment and design, construction management, social science, environmental resource development, urban planning, statistics or education, in addition to courses in each major.
This graduate program is intended for students holding an accredited undergraduate degree in one of the major design professions. Students with prior degrees in fields, including:
Prospective master’s students are encouraged to reach out to our interior design and landscape architecture faculty members to champion their applications. Numerous opportunities exist to receive support for your academic journey through scholarships, fellowships and assistantships.
This document outlines the details for admission to our Masters programs.
The MED addresses four areas of professional development. These include:
A student must complete 33 course credits for the degree under either Plan A (thesis option) or Plan B (report option).
