B. Interior Architecture and Design
Creating Places
Study the art, science and business behind solving structural interior design needs and aspirations—and then create functional and beautiful spaces—by combining materials, lighting, furnishings and other design elements. Intensive design studios give you valuable practice in design, and with one more course, you earn a minor in the related field of architecture, and will graduate fully prepared to deliver a broad scope of services in your professional field. This program is accredited by the Council for Interior Design Accreditation (CIDA) and the National Association of Schools of Art and Design (NASAD). It is one of the few Bachelor of Interior Architecture and Design Programs in the nation.
