If you are imaginative and enjoy creating beautiful indoor spaces, a career as an interior designer could be a perfect fit.

In this program, you'll learn to blend creativity with technical elements to design residential and commercial interiors.

2. Students will demonstrate the ability to resolve complex design challenges using critical
thinking, research, industry specific knowledge and industry standard technology.
