It is the mission of the Interior Design program to provide students the opportunity to participate in the design, development and implementation of creative and technical solutions for a variety of interior environments in which all people exist and function.
The program offers coursework that synthesizes design history and theory, structural and technical systems, legal, ethical, and economic frameworks for professional practice along with the social, cultural and environmental context of the built environment.
Students will deal with Interior Design in the context of the architectural and engineering environments in which their anticipated projects reside.

Design principles include, but are not limited to, an understanding of basic visual elements, principles of organization and expression and design problem solving.

This requires an in-depth knowledge of the aesthetic and functional properties of structure and surface, space and scale, materials, furniture, artifacts, textiles, lighting, acoustics, heating and cooling systems, air quality systems, and the ability to research and solve problems creatively in ways that pertain to the function, quality and effect of specific interior programs.
