University of Kentucky

The graduate program in the School of Interiors leads to a post-professional Master of Arts in Interiors: Planning/Strategy/Design. Students undertake a combination of course work, independent study, and research experience to develop a course of study designed to meet each student’s career interests. Courses from within and outside the discipline cultivate interdisciplinary design thinking. Using design-related scholarship/research and creative approaches, students engage in an investigative process leading to an area of design specialization. Each student works with an advising committee in the selection of a written thesis or a design thesis project option and the appropriate courses at the 500, 600, and 700 levels. Applicants that have an undergraduate degree in interior design or a related professional subject matter normally complete the program in two years. Supplementary course work may be required of applicants without professional undergraduate interior design degrees.
