MS Spacial Experience Design at the ArtCenter College of Design
The spatial design degree program equips you with specialized and advanced knowledge, theory and practice. Drawing from a diverse array of fields, we approach environmental design with empathy, sensitivity, equity, diversity and inclusion. We pursue spatial justice and better understandings of how the creative process can make positive change in the world.
The sensorial and experiential qualities of spatial design shape environments and cultivate targeted user experiences. With ArtCenter’s STEM-designated Master of Science in Spatial Experience Design degree (formerly the Master’s in Environmental Design), you will stretch conventional boundaries and transform the confines of style to consider links between the psychological, physical, emotional and sensory effects of creating space and place.
The spatial experience design degree brings established creative minds into the professional sphere. We prioritize elevating a multiscale spatial design direction with a strong industry focus and application through hands-on projects with industry leaders and major brand engagements. You will have opportunities to exercise your expertise in the relationship between body, materials, space, place and emotions from interdisciplinary perspectives in our shops, labs, EMEC, makerspaces, stages, library and print shop.
Establish the creative skill sets necessary to stay relevant in the rapidly shifting world of environmental design. With a keen focus on brand, materials and manufacturing nuances, pricing and business practices, and current and future trends, ArtCenter’s graduate spatial experience design degree is among the only industry-focused programs of its kind. You can become a leader in spatial design and interior/exterior living component design through experiential learning and competitive networking opportunities.
