Interior Design
Minor in the School of Architecture
The role of interiors in architecture is continuously redefining itself as it touches upon areas such as housing, institutional, exhibition, set, and furniture design.
The Interior Design minor is designed to provide a foundation in interior design and architecture concepts for students outside of the School of Architecture. Curriculum courses tie together history, theory, construction, and computer applications in a way that parallels the architecture studio education, while retaining a clear viewpoint on interior architecture and the other design arts.
