Graduate Programs in Environmental Design
Explore 300+ Environmental Design graduate programs at 100+ universities across 8 countries.
Overview
Environmental design is the design of the spaces around us, from landscapes and public parks to interiors and sustainable buildings. Programs in this grouping include landscape architecture, interior design and design for the built environment, combining studio work with ecology, technology and history.
Professional master's degrees prepare you for practice and, in many places, licensure in landscape architecture or interior design. Research master's and PhD programs lead to teaching and scholarship on design and the built environment.
Graduates become landscape architects, interior designers, urban designers, sustainability consultants and design researchers. Design firms, architecture practices, city planning departments and developers hire them, with rising interest in green infrastructure, climate-adaptive design and healthy buildings.
Most Environmental Design programs charge between $20,000 and $62,000 a year in tuition. The top ten ranked programs charge between $34,000 and $68,000.
