Bachelor of Science in Interior Design

The Bachelor of Science in Interior Design is a four-year program of study (128 credit hours), that includes design studios, technical, specialized courses, and a required internship. Following the two-year Basic Studies sequence, students complete two years of Major Studies, an intensive series of specialized courses and studios on the professional practice of interior design.

The interior design program prepares graduates for professional careers by providing opportunities through which students learn the environmental, technical, aesthetic, and human-centered aspects of design. Students understand the impact of interior design decisions on the built environment and its occupants as they develop awareness of global issues, from sustainability to cultural and societal issues where design makes a difference. The program focuses on evidence-based design solutions and promotes interdisciplinary collaboration with related disciplines including architecture, landscape architecture, lighting design, community development, and others. We are committed to inspiring the next generation of design thinkers and leaders and to that purpose, provide experiences that reflect professional practices, collaboration, and expanding opportunities beyond the classroom.
