DEA was a pioneer in creating a multi-disciplinary department committed to developing and using research to inspire innovative design that can improve the interior environments in which we live our lives. Since its inception in 1969, its mission has broadened to include not only the interior built environment, but also the strategic planning of complex work, education, health, and residential facilities. The chart below outlines the degree programs DEA offers at both the Undergraduate and Graduate Levels.
