It is one of two programs in the School of Architecture and Design, alongside Graphic Design, and the Bachelor of Fine Arts requires a minimum of 121 credits across general education, school core requirements, and major coursework, with a published degree total of 120 credits. Students completing the major also earn a CMI certificate recognizing their training in design project coordination, client management, and space-planning strategy grounded in professional leadership principles. Career paths listed for graduates include residential interior designer, design consultant, and teaching or education-specialist roles, spanning both client-facing design work and education-oriented positions.
