Interior Architecture Degree

Master of Interior Architecture, M.I.A.

The School of Architecture offers the Master of Interior Architecture (M.I.A.). This professionally accredited degree focuses on the advanced study of design strategies, history, theories, and technologies for the adaptive reuse of buildings and their interiors. Current trends in architectural design practice ensure that the imaginative reuse of existing buildings is, and will continue to be, the primary focus of our discipline for the foreseeable future.

The M.I.A. program at Marywood University is one of a limited number of graduate Interior Architecture programs in the United States that is fully integrated into a School of Architecture and its associate architecture program. Consequently, students are exposed to experimental pedagogies and techniques for creative project explorations.
