Overview

Interior Design, through creative thinking, issue identification, and continuing resolution, contributes to the overall well-being of human life. The positive impact of the well-designed interior environment is verifiable, making Interior Design a critical component of the design disciplines. The Interior Design MID program is offered at University of Texas at Austin.

Opportunities for Interdisciplinary Study

Students work closely with faculty in courses, seminars, and independent research projects to develop independent thought as well as a thorough knowledge of the field. Students may combine their research on Interior Design topics with a broad array of related subjects. Cross-disciplinary work in the School of Architecture’s other programs of Historic Preservation, Architectural Design, Theory and History is encouraged. As a major research university, The University of Texas at Austin offers a wide selection of across campus electives, including courses in Arts Education and Design, Theater and Dance, Radio-Television-Film, American Studies, Anthropology, Psychology, and Museum Studies, to name a few. Students are encouraged to shape their own critical approaches and to develop a mastery of research in Interior Design. With advice and permission of the MID program director or MID graduate adviser, students may select elective courses from other departments on campus.
