curriculum
The degree program is structured in a 1+4 sequence: One year of Environmental Design Studies, followed by four years and one summer of study within Interior Architecture and Product Design (all students in the College will take this unified foundation coursework prior to moving on to their selected discipline). The student selects one of the four professional degree-granting programs during this preliminary year of Environmental Design Studies. In addition to related design coursework, students are required to complete a series of approved University General Elective (UGE) credits throughout these five years and one summer. Total hours required for degree completion: 169 (138 undergraduate credit hours, and 31 graduate credit hours).
Related studies consist of courses in building technology, design and furniture history, professional practice, the selection of materials and finishes, and general education. A number of these courses are offered by other departments in the College and University and are taken with students enrolled in other disciplines. However, instruction in computer technology and software is provided within the department. These skills greatly enhance the student’s performance in design studio, and ultimately his or her effectiveness in the workplace.
