In interior architecture, we offer a broad professional curriculum that combines robust shared design courses with specialized study in interior design to create big picture design thinkers. Our aim is to help students develop research and design skills they will need to revitalize, reuse, and adapt existing buildings and interior spaces to enhance quality of life for users. Throughout the curriculum we focus on making spaces and objects that resonate with users and provide uplifting, healthy, and sustainable interior environments.
Our department has a long history of interdisciplinary collaborative learning. Interior architecture students are immersed in a rich mix of faculty, students, and courses in other design majors while earning a professional degree accredited by the Council for Interior Design Accreditation (CIDA). Our unique curriculum is project based and student driven. Interior architecture studio courses allow students to propose design solutions to real-life problems that focus on the critical issues of our time. A comprehensive project in the final year allows each student to conduct in-depth study and research into their specialized areas of interest.
