Program Description
Our interior design program consists of a sequential undergraduate design studios that form the core of the professional interior design major. Basic architectural and design principles of form-making are the initial focus that soon shift to issues of people and space.

The program helps students develop critical thinking, creative design and evaluation of how interior design meets the needs of people is the essence of our professional curriculum. Within the instructional settings of the upper design studios, our students learn about the dynamic interactions between people and space in the commercial, institutional, hospitality, healthcare and retail facilities. Graduates develop competency in specific interior design subject areas as they learn how to creatively make the world a better place for people. Our program provides opportunities for the students to achieve excellence in the design of interior environments also to engage in research and develop a specialization in a related field and possible topics for advanced studies in furniture design, environmental design, historic preservation, visualization and interior applications for computers, design research and theory as well as design education.
