This article compares research activities and program specialities of 64 architecture graduate programs with 27 interior design graduate programs. The architecture sample was the list of schools in the directory of Architecture Schools in North America. The interior design sample was taken from the Interior Design Educators Council membership. The results indicate that there are more graduate programs, more areas of specialization, more graduate faculty, and more graduate students in graduate programs of architecture than in graduate programs of interior design. The study also identifies commonalities in program areas of specialization, research emphases, and scholarship. Implications of findings are addressed in the larger context of graduate education.
