Interior Design

Acquire professional capacities to design environments that shape human behavior and foster human health.

Designing interiors isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about shaping how people feel, live, and thrive in a space. Our program teaches human-centered design, ecological theory, and creative practice to prepare students for a career rooted in impact and innovation. We emphasize sustainability, well-being, and inclusive design for all life stages.

Why
Interior Design?
The program has guided me and encouraged me throughout the entire process. I feel supported in taking risks and exploring the possibilities in design solutions driven by the question of “What if?”
Kate Lennon
I learned how to push forward during challenges and to look forward to feedback. Our program sets us up to succeed and teaches us how to manage work-life balance. With a focus on professionalism, I felt very prepared for my internship.
