The Master of Science in Sustainable Design (MSSD) Program offers you the opportunity to explore different avenues of study, ranging from design exploration to applied research. The program prizes collaboration between seemingly disparate fields from architecture to construction management to engineering and employs faculty from those diverse fields to underscore the importance of interdisciplinary design in the program.
Building on a historical strength of the University, the MSSD program features special lab and design-build courses focusing on green materials. This aspect of the MSSD program includes real-world, funded research projects that allow you to connect your theoretical knowledge with important environmental and energy-efficiency challenges. As a graduate of the program, you will be proficient in sustainable design or participate significantly in the sustainable-design process a technically challenging, rapidly evolving and vitally important development for the future of our planet.
