Accredited by the Council for Interior Design Accreditation (CIDA), this program promotes an innovative educational community that balances expression, imaginative problem-solving, aesthetic understanding, professional responsibility, and creativity. As an Interior Design student, you will learn to creatively integrate materials, function, aesthetics and form within interior space. You will develop an understanding of, and sensitivity to, interior design history and technology, environment, economics, architecture, and societal needs, by exploring projects that will develop your aesthetic and technical proficiencies, all the while preparing you for professional certification and licensing.

Through the use of color, lighting, furniture, fixtures and finishes, interior design supports accessibility, environmental sustainability and the well-being of occupants. You will learn to be a designer who can communicate effectively within your discipline, who will nourish a life–long attitude of inquiry, and who will strive to make a positive impact on society. Graduates of the Interior Design program become designers who positively impact the places in which we live, work, and play.
