DesignIntelligence (DI) magazine’s 2016–17 report on the best architecture and design schools in America ranks the College of Design’s undergraduate interior design program among the top 20 in the nation.
The program was also selected by hiring professionals as one that best prepares students for a future in their professions.
In addition, the college’s graduate interior design program was named one of the most admired in the country for “its historically strong graduate teaching and advising as well as its evidence-based design research.”
The College of Design’s graduate architecture program was also ranked among the nation’s most admired for “its model curriculum and license-upon-graduation program.” The School of Architecture’s M.S. in architecture with a concentration in research practices (MS-RP) degree provides students with a structured path to licensure and integrates research directly into their education.
DI’s report is the result of surveys from students, deans, and hiring professionals in the disciplines of architecture, interior design, industrial design, and landscape architecture.
Universal design is the practice of designing an environment in such a way that it is accessible and usable by the greatest number of people possible, no matter their age, cultural background, or ability.
For architecture students, the road to becoming licensed is a long one. Between school, internships, and preparing for the licensure exam, the mean time from high school graduation to becoming licensed is 13.3 years.¹
The College of Design is pleased to announce that faculty in the School of Architecture have received four of the 2018 Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture (ACSA) Awards.
