Program Overview
      The program in interior design includes a Bachelor of Interior Design (BID); a BS and BA in Interior Design, Sales and Marketing; and an MS in Human Environments with a specialization in Interior Design. These degrees have been developed to prepare students for entry into the varied professions of interior design. Students identify, research, and creatively solve problems pertaining to the function and quality of the interior environment. Students also gain an understanding of the legal and ethical issues that guide and direct the profession.
      An interior designer renders professional services with respect to both commercial and residential spaces. These services include programming, design analysis, space planning, aesthetics, interior construction, drafting, building codes, equipment, materials, and furnishings, in order to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the public.

Freshman/First-Year Application Packet
      All Interior Design students (i.e., freshmen and transfer students) must submit an application packet. The application packet assesses basic skills and creativity. Acceptance of students into the Interior Design Program will allow them to register for Architectural Graphics I (ID 2710) and Computer Aided Drafting and Design I (ID 2750).

2nd Year Review
      In addition to basic undergraduate and graduate requirements set forth in this catalog, students in Interior Design must participate in a Sophomore Review in order to matriculate to junior class standing. The review takes place during the spring semester of a student’s sophomore year in the program. Students wishing to enroll in juniorlevel courses must submit projects from as many of the following courses as possible: ID 1740, 1760, 1790, 2710, 2720, 2730, 2750, 2760; ART 1020, 1120; and one elective art skills class.
      Selection is based on a letter of intent; a portfolio demonstrating creative potential, problem solving skills, and graphic fluency; and cumulative GPA from ID required courses.
      Students accepted into the advanced courses will be placed into either the Studio Interior Design (BID) degree or the Interior Design, Sales and Marketing (BS or BA) degree. The final selection of students to matriculate to the upper division is a decision of the ID faculty.
      If a student who has been approved to take classes stops out of the program, he or she will be readmitted if space is available. Students may also be asked to resubmit their portfolio. Due to space limitations, first preference will be given to students with continuous registration in the program.
