Interior Design Major or Minor
The Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree or minor in interior design is for the student with a passion for creating, styling and designing a space.
Interior design students learn a breadth of knowledge — space planning, architectural design, writing project specifications, furniture, lighting, art, flooring, paint, wall coverings and so much more. To utilize this knowledge, they understand that people desire spaces to promote wellness, inspiration and sustainability.
