About the course

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.

　　Position yourself as an author-based design leader, a designer skilled in advancing the discipline and craft of spatial design with a focus on innovation. ArtCenter’s two- or three-year Master’s in spatial design program blends conceptual rigor with professional practice and theoretical thinking with technical innovation. Set your mind and hands to scenography, manufacturing, fabrication and project execution that foregoes trends to center the future of our environments.

　　Spatial experience investigates the dynamic qualities of story-driven design to conceive staging and sequencing which captures the dramatic qualities and needs of a specific spatial experience. Our 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. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
