Interior Design

Program Purpose:

The Interior Design concentration prepares students for professional service in residential and/or commercial design work.  You will be taking courses in Design History, Design Thinking, Textiles, Design in Social Media, and Residential / Commercial Courses.  These will develop your understanding of the many areas of the Interior Design Industries.  

Opportunities: 

Although West Virginia does not require professional interior designers to be licensed, many states do. This Interior Design degree will satisfy the academic requirement to begin the process of preparing to take the exams to earn the NCIDQ License.

There are is an opportunity to be active in the student professional association for interior design with one of the oldest in the country, the American Society of Interior Designers.  Students should consult the ASID website for further details regarding ASID membership and states requiring licensing.
