• Interior Design is a service profession, dealing largely with people and their needs. The demand for design services has grown rapidly. With that growth has come a wide range of specialties in both residential and non-residential design. Most of our graduates are affiliated with architectural and medium to large-scale non-residential interior design firms. Others pursue careers in residential design. A significant number seek advanced degrees in architectural, industrial, or interior design.
  • Students interested in Interior Design should be design-oriented. They must have the ability to express ideas by free-hand drawing, architectural drafting, computer-aided design (CAD), physical and electronic models, and other graphic media. They must be able to present their ideas both visually and verbally and should be knowledgeable and conversant in historic and contemporary architectural and interior design areas.
  • Study in the area of interior design is supported through the programming of the School of Art, study abroad, and dedicated computers and facilities. The Interior Design building, Broad Street Studio 2, provides a studio environment that facilitates the design and exploration of the built environment.
