Bachelor of Arts: Textiles, Clothing and Interiors
Emphasis: Interior Design
Interior designers
specialize in the planning of the interior element of a building's design.
Those buildings may be residential or commercial (entertainment, government/institutional,
health care, hospitality/restaurant, office, retail, etc.). Interior designers
create spaces that are aesthetically pleasing, functional, efficient and
safe, and enhance the quality of the working and/or living environment.
The interior design
program prepares students for a variety of entry-level positions in interior
design. This interdisciplinary program combines courses from Art, Business
and Family and Consumer Sciences. To fulfill major degree requirements,
students must complete the FCS core (9 - 10 credits) and the courses specific
to interior design (80 - 83 credits). Our program features a student chapter
of ASID (American Society of Interior Designers), a required internship
(FCS 4940), AutoCAD courses, and a liaison program with FIDM (the Fashion
Institute of Design and Merchandising).

Liaison
Program with the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising
Interior Design students
have an exciting opportunity to pursue a concentrated year of study in
interior design at FIDM in Los Angeles, California. The FIDM program provides intense training in the
technical areas of interior design and a strong focus on commercial design.
Students electing to participate in this program apply to FIDM during
their junior year and attend during their senior year. Upon successful
completion of both programs, students earn an Associate of Arts (AA) degree
in interior design from FIDM and a BA degree from SPU. Students considering
this option should seek advisement early in their academic careers in
order to meet the requirements of both FIDM and SPU in a timely manner.
