Interior designers are professionally trained to create spaces that are safe, functional and attractive. The Bachelor of Science in Interior Design degree at Appalachian State University prepares students to enter the interior design profession and positions them to seek professional status through the National Council for Interior Design Qualification (NCIDQ) exam as well as state-specific licensure.

Appalachian?s interior design program places particular emphasis on environmental responsibility, community service, global issues and universal design (design that accommodates people of all abilities) in order to prepare students for the challenges of the ever-changing profession. Its curriculum integrates theory and application and prepares students to work in either residential or commercial design.

In this multidisciplinary program, students develop a strong foundation in building science and construction methods as well as aesthetically appropriate design. The program is located within the Department of Applied Design.
