MS in Interior Architecture

Applicants are required to hold a bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited institution or equivalent upon evaluation of international transcripts prior to the start of the program.

Applicants are required to submit an official transcript for their highest earned degree. For programs with prerequisite coursework, official transcripts from the institution(s) where the coursework was taken are required. Students who have taken coursework outside of the United States should submit a course-by-course academic credential evaluation from a National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES) member credentialing organization. Applicants who do not have a NACES evaluation are required to submit official transcripts, along with an official English translation, to Jefferson for review. Thomas Jefferson University reserves the right to outsource student academic credentials to our NACES member partner for evaluation.

Submit two letters of reference that provide insight into your academic and/or professional competence. References from college or university faculty members or professional sources are accepted.

Submit a statement of purpose outlining your interest in the program, how the course of study relates to your desired career path, and your academic and job-related experiences that are relevant to the program.

A portfolio is required for students applying for advanced standing in the MSIA program. If you have an undergraduate degree in interior design/interior architecture and/or architecture you may apply for advanced standing. The portfolio should include creative and/or professional work in architecture, interior design and/or the visual arts. Applicants without UG degrees in these fields do not need to submit a portfolio.
