Interior architecture and product design program requirements
Once students are accepted into the College of Architecture, Planning and Design they begin their education by enrolling in the Environmental Design Program (ENVD). The ENVD Program provides a common first year curriculum for all students enrolled in the college. Early in the second semester of their first year each student then decides which of the four programs that he or she wishes to apply for entrance into starting in the fall semester of their second year. Students in Interior Architecture and Product Design will then apply for acceptance into the Graduate School for entry into the M.IAPD Program during the spring semester of their third year. Minimum requirements for acceptance into the M.IAPD Program are: - 3.00 - 4.00 GPA - Regular Admission
- 2.75 - 2.99 GPA - Probationary Acceptance
- 2.50 - 2.74 GPA - Probationary Acceptance by Departmental Request
GPA is based on the last 60 Hours of credit earned at the time you are considered for admission to the Graduate School. Graduate courses in Interior Architecture and Product Design begin in the fall of the student’s fourth year. Refer to the departmental website (http://www.arch.ksu.edu/iar) for current information regarding this program. The program is subject to constant review and change without notice. Total undergraduate credits required for graduation - 138
Total graduate credits required for graduation - 31
Total hours required for graduation - 169
