Interior designers give life to the interior spaces we inhabit. They shape, organize, furnish, and adorn the insides of buildings to reflect our personal and cultural aspirations. Today’s interior designers do not simply decorate. They consider meaning and identity, function and purpose, and issues pertaining to health and safety. They work on wide range of interiors, from residential to corporate projects, designing spaces within new buildings and finding ways to adapt and re-use existing structures.We offer a Bachelor of Interior Design (BID) program that is accredited by the Council for Interior Design Accreditation (CIDA) and that meets the education requirements for the NCIDQ exam and for licensure as an interior designer. Our program is professionally oriented and focuses on commercial and corporate interiors. We teach specialized knowledge in design, color and light, history and theory, furnishings and materials, environmental systems and controls, interior construction and building systems, and regulations. Additionally, we teach critical thinking skills, an understanding of the global context of design, the value of collaboration, and creative and professional modes of communication.
