How do you make a room express a mood?

Interior Designers know how to make space work and are experts at creating mood. It’s about light, color, texture and three-dimensional arrangements that contribute greatly to the way humans respond in any environment – whether at home, at play or in their day-to-day work spaces.


Interior Designers understand how people respond to color, how to manage traffic flow, how to scout an antique store to find the perfect piece for a room and how to use light or the many combinations of space, form and function. The variations can be endless, but as an Interior Designer, so is your creativity.


In the Interior Design program, students will develop abilities in all aspects of the design of three-dimensional residential and commercial spaces. Students start with courses in drawing, perspective, proportion, color theory, basic design and other fundamentals. The program also incorporates courses in 2-D and 3-D computer-aided design, history of interior design and cultural contexts, furniture design, materials, textiles, environmental systems, architectural detailing, lighting design, building codes, computer rendering, 3-D modeling, accessory design and other topics related to the field.


In addition to developing aesthetic sensibilities, the program explores how the profession interfaces with others, ethical sensitivities, and how to manage the business side of the profession. Graduates of the Interior Design program will be prepared for entry-level positions in commercial and residential interior design, such as Residential Designers, Commercial Designers, Facilities Designers, Computer Aided Draftspersons, Showroom Managers, Project Managers, Exhibit Designers and Specialty Designers in Kitchen, Bath, Product, Lighting and Furniture.


The Bachelor of Science program lasts 12 quarters and contains 192 quarter credits, including 56 quarter credits in General Education.
