Graduate students’ work is an important resource in building the body of knowledge for the profession of interior design. To develop an awareness of the research being conducted at the graduate level in interior design programs, the following list was compiled by the IDEC Graduate Education Network.
Each year a list of recently completed dissertations, theses, and creative projects is compiled and submitted for publication in JID. Interior design programs responding to the network's request for information are listed. The present list represents submittals for 1995 and those for 1994 that had not been previously listed.
