Interior Design

BFA in Interior Design

Do you want to create interior spaces that look great and work even better for the people who use them? In our BFA in Interior Design program you’ll study drawing, perspective, proportion, materials, and color. You'll learn about architecture, ergonomics, barrier-free design, and the green building movement. You'll plan residential, retail, and corporate spaces. We’re accredited by the prestigious Council for Interior Design Accreditation and we’re justifiably proud of our record for graduating successful interior designers.

Make a living AND make a difference.

The details of our man-made world — where we live, work, and play — greatly influence our moods, our comfort, and even our productivity. By manipulating both the aesthetic and physical nature of a space, the interior designer brings an environment into harmony with its purpose, simultaneously bringing us into harmony with ours.

Working artists

Our Interior Design graduates become interior designers, project managers, manufacturers reps, furnishings buyers, college instructors, marketing consultants, health care designers, retail designers, hospitality designers, restaurant designers, design consultants, design managers, and more.
