ACADEMIC PROGRAMS / GRADUATE

Master of Professional Studies in Healthcare Interior Design

The healthcare industry is rapidly expanding to accommodate the growing needs of the aging baby boomer generation and the global population explosion. In response, NYSID has created the Master of Professional Studies in Healthcare Interior Design (MPS-H), an interdisciplinary program that provides designers an opportunity to learn from practicing healthcare designers, engineers, capital projects team members in healthcare institutions, and healthcare environment researchers.

Courses include knowledge in research methods, history and theory of healthcare, environmental and behavioral studies, and applied design.

Sustainable design and lighting research focused on healthcare environments are integral parts of the course of study.

Additionally, the program will familiarize students with the business side of healthcare— why projects are started, how they are financed, how they are implemented in healthcare institutions, and the role of interior designers in the project continuum.

The program prepares students to begin working in interior design firms focused on healthcare, interior design groups within healthcare institutions, or other related fields. The research component prepares students to join healthcare research groups within design firms or groups such as the Center for Health Design, which supports research of healthcare environments.

Note: completion of this program does not lead to licensure in architecture or interior design.

You can enroll full-time (completing the degree in one year) or part-time

All classes are offered in the evenings

The program is open to anyone with a degree in interior design or architecture. Related fields will be considered if accompanied by a portfolio showing aptitude.
