Bachelor of Fine Arts in Interior Design
Mission
Learning Outcomes
- Demonstrate Critical Thinking, Professional Values and Processes (global perspective for design, human-centered design, design process, collaboration, communication, professionalism and business practices);
- Demonstrate Core Design and Technical Knowledge (history, space and form, color, furniture, fixtures, equipment and finish materials, environmental systems, building systems and interior construction, regulations and guidelines).
Curriculum
The major in Interior Design follows a curriculum that culminates in the degree Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA). Students entering the Interior Design program share a common core of environmental design and graphic media foundations with Architecture majors in the first year. Second year coursework ensures that Interior Design students have an understanding of disciplinary fundamentals including visual communication methods, architectural history, building structures, systems, and materials while beginning to study design and human behavior, interior materials, and the planning and organization of interior space as a specialty.
Upper-level coursework emphasizes intermediate and advanced interior design problems, mechanical systems and lighting, furniture design, history and theory of interiors, construction documentation, and professional practice. In a culminating senior Capstone experience, each interior design student defines their own project through research, programming and designing a solution to a complex interior design problem.
We strive to:
- provide students rigorous professional preparation within the context of a nationally recognized liberal arts university;
- embrace a culture of innovation grounded in an understanding of artistic tradition;
- promote engaged and critical inquiry in the pursuit of new understandings and new knowledge.
- guide students in the integration of visual aesthetics, spatial perception, human factors, design history and theory, and building technology to create functional and pleasing interior environments that promote health, safety, and welfare while supporting and enhancing the human experience.
Program strengths include:
- Competitive, portfolio-based admissions
- An emphasis on collaborative and interdisciplinary experiences, including strategic collaborations shared by the interior design and architecture curriculums
- State-of-the-art facilities and equipment, housed within historic Alumni Hall
- Numerous opportunities for domestic and international off-campus study
