The Department of Interior Design’s mission is to provide an intellectually rigorous, studio-based experience grounded in the issues of interior architecture. The department develops in its students an enduring passion and curiosity for their work, a determination to continually seek quality in their endeavors, an ability to reflect constructively upon their actions as individuals and a responsibility for their lifelong education.
The department focuses students’ professional activities while encouraging connections between these activities and the larger forum of ideas that enrich their culture and environment.
One of the oldest programs of its kind in U.S., we offer a curriculum that balances academic study with professional training, helping students gain both conceptual knowledge and technical skill.
Our BFA in Interior Design and MFA in Design (Interior Environments) degree programs are accredited by CIDA, the Council for Interior Design Accreditation.
Our alumni are commercial designers, hospitality designers, residential designers, museum and exhibition designers and lighting designers.
We have over a hundred undergraduate and graduate students from all over the U.S. and abroad.
