The Doctor of Interior Design (PhD) goal
is to help students apply artistic techniques
and principles to the professional designing,
equipping, planning, and furnishing of residential
and commercial spaces. The program prepares
graduates for leadership positions in design;
government and education consultation practices;
and academic and administrative positions
in higher education and research. The Interior
Design program is designed to advance the
professional development of experienced
interior design graduates and professionals
in the interior design arena by extending
their knowledge and equipping them with
broad research and process interior design
skills, enabling them to make a key leadership
contribution to their chosen fields.
AIU’s Doctorate degree in Interior
Design goes one step further by allowing
students to study and research multiple
key areas of computer science to develop
a unique foundation of practical knowledge
and computer science theory.
Your AIU Distance Learning Doctorate program
in Interior Design will be a custom-made
program, designed just for you by you and
your advisor. This flexibility to meet your
needs is seldom found in other distance
learning programs. Our program does not
require every student to study the same
subjects and use the same books and other
learning materials as every other student.
Instead our online Doctoral programs are
designed just for you. They are individually
designed to meet your needs and help you
to reach your professional and personal
goals.
Important: Below is an example of the topics
or areas you may develop and work on during
your studies. By no means is it a complete
or required list as AIU programs do not

meant solely as a reference point and example.
