Bachelor of Fine Arts in Interior Design

The CIDA-accredited BFA in Interior Design offers a professional undergraduate education that prepares 消消犯s to enter practice immediately upon graduation or to pursue further graduate-level education.

Mission

Our mission is to prepare 消消犯s for critical engagement in professional interior design practice, and to guide 消消犯s to become independent, creative thinkers and leaders contributing to the design of innovative, inclusive, resilient, and sustainable communities.

Learning Outcomes

  1. Demonstrate Critical Thinking, Professional Values and Processes (global perspective for design, human-centered design, design process, collaboration, communication, professionalism, and business practices);
  2. Demonstrate Core Design and Technical Knowledge (history, space and form, color, furniture, fixtures, equipment and finish materials, environmental systems, building systems and interior construction, regulations and guidelines).

Curriculum

The major in Interior Design follows a curriculum that culminates in the Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) degree. Students entering the Interior Design program share a common core of environmental design and graphic media foundations with Architecture majors in the first year. Second-year coursework ensures that Interior Design 消消犯s understand disciplinary fundamentals, including visual communication methods, architectural history, building structures, systems, and materials, while beginning to study design and human behavior, interior materials, and the planning and organization of interior space as a specialty.

Upper-level coursework emphasizes intermediate and advanced interior design problems, mechanical systems and lighting, furniture design, history and theory of interiors, construction documentation, and professional practice. In a culminating senior Capstone experience, each interior design 消消犯 defines their own project through research, programming, and designing a solution to a complex interior design problem.
