Interior Design (120 Credits)
Interior Design (ID) is a four-year program structured into one year of pre-professional coursework and three years of major (professional) coursework. Professional program courses begin in second year fall. Due to the sequential nature of courses there are no spring admits. To be considered for admission into the ID program, a student must have completed the following pre-professional coursework (or their approved equivalents):
ART 101, 201, or 202 [ARTS], COM 102 [COMM], ENGLISH 101 [WRTG], HISTORY 105 [ROOT], PSYCH 105 or SOC 101 [SSCI], and SDC 100, 120, 140, each with a grade of C or better and an overall GPA of 3.3 or higher.
Students not meeting the admission to major criteria above will be considered until enrollment limits are reached. Average enrollment limits into the second year of the interior design major are 25-30 students. Greater emphasis is given to performance in SDC 100, 120, and 140. Completion of all pre-professional coursework does not guarantee acceptance into the professional program. Students are encouraged to work with SDC advisors to identify an alternate major should they not be admitted to their primary choice of major.
Transfer Students
A limited number of transfer students are considered each year. Requirements include completion of the pre-professional courses (or approved equivalents). Emphasis is given to cumulative GPA. A design portfolio may be requested for additional evaluation.
Schedule of Studies
The plan below is a suggested path to completion of the interior design degree. Students will meet with an advisor each semester to confirm academic schedule and monitor progress towards graduation.
Students are required to earn a grade of C or better in all major courses required for the degree (SDC 100, 120, 140, 250, 300, 350, 473; I D 197, 201, 203, 205, 215, 277, 297, 312, 321, 325, 326, 333, 350, 397, 415, 425, 426, 460).
