ABOUT THE PROGRAM

From Sketch to Built Space

The Bachelor of Arts in Interior Design takes you from basic studio skills and computer drafting through four progressively advanced interior design studios, construction & finishes, furniture design, and landscape design — ending in a furniture-shop build and a senior project.

You won't just draw spaces — you'll learn the materials, construction methods, and fabrication skills to actually build what you design, working with real tools in the furniture design shop.

  • Four progressive Interior Design studio courses
  • Hands-on furniture design shop (two semesters)
  • Construction, finishes & landscape design training
