New York School of Interior Design

The New York School of Interior Design (NYSID) is a specialized private college located in Manhattan's Upper East Side, operating from two primary facilities on 70th Street and 28th Street. Founded in 1916, NYSID focuses exclusively on interior design education through its undergraduate and graduate programs, making it one of the few institutions in the United States dedicated solely to this discipline. The college maintains a concentrated academic environment with studio-based learning spaces, a materials library, and computer labs equipped with industry-standard design software. NYSID's curriculum emphasizes both residential and commercial design, with specialized tracks in architectural design, lighting, and sustainable interiors. The urban campus is integrated into New York City's design district, providing students direct access to showrooms, design firms, and cultural institutions, though the college does not provide student housing.
