Bachelor of Fine Arts in Interior Design
The objective of the Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) Program in Interior Design is to provide students with the intellectual and practical abilities necessary to attain both excellence in design and a fulfilling career as a professional interior designer. The interior design programs strike a balance between the theoretical and practical aspects of design. The theoretical component is essential to creative problem solving; the practical component ensures the marketability of the graduate. The interior design BFA curriculum is formulated to provide students with a comprehensive knowledge of theory, history, technology, communication, professional and design skills. There are three basic types of courses within the department: studio courses in interior design; lecture courses in interior design subjects; and lecture courses in the liberal arts.
