Interior Architecture and Design is the systematic planning and design of interior environments. Interior Architects concentrate on the human experience dealing with structures, systems, spaces and surfaces to create immersive experiences for individual and collective interactions.
The Interior Architecture & Design program is an integrated interdisciplinary sequence of courses that builds upon the strengths of a Liberal Arts and Sciences foundation; the user-centered; problem-solving skills and insights of design; and the goal-oriented, global responsiveness of marketing.
