Master of Professional Studies in Sustainable Interior Environments

The principles and best practices of sustainable design are more than just buzzwords: they’re marketable skills that are essential to the design industry today. The Master of Professional Studies in Sustainable Interior Environments (MPS-S) is a post-professional program structured to prepare design professionals to assume leadership roles in developing and maintaining sustainable interior spaces that will positively impact the world. Classes are offered in the evenings and on weekends, and you can enroll full-time, part-time, or study online with live classes delivered via videoconferencing.

Intended for those working in the design or architecture professions, the program provides students with a thorough grounding in the best practices in environmentally informed designs for the interior. Students become knowledgeable on topics tested by the LEED and WELL exams.

Upon completion of the MPS-S program and with further study and experience, students are in a position to sit for LEED AP and WELL AP Accreditation—two highly sought-after credentials.

Students are exposed to a wide range of topics, research methods, integrated design development methodologies, and sustainable project management practices. Course work addresses the history and theory of sustainability, principles of sustainable materials, natural and artificial lighting and control systems, and

The program includes two studio courses designed to integrate acquired knowledge and research while exploring both residential and nonresidential environments.
