BA/BS in Interior Architecture

This studio-centered degree sits in the School of Design within the visual and performing arts college. Students question and reimagine the spaces people live and work in, using design to push for constructive change in an evolving global context. Work happens in an environment that resembles a working design office, with faculty close at hand. Studios, computer labs, a print lab and a fabrication shop are located downtown at a converted warehouse named for Nancy Cantor. Students tackle community and industry projects, intern with design practices and cultural institutions, and hear from visiting designers from abroad. The curriculum builds competence in programming, spatial planning, drawing, visual communication and user-centered thinking, and asks students to reflect critically on their own process. A living-learning community for design students is available.
