Aims and Objectives
The interior design program at Ursuline College prepares students for entry level positions in interior design for a variety of career paths.
Upon completion of the required amount of work experience after graduation, students will have the foundation to sit for the NCIDQ (National Council for Interior Design Qualification) examination.
The liberal arts core curriculum combines with a 72 hour major, including 54 hours of interior design courses and 18 hours of required supporting courses in studio art and business, to provide a varied and integrative curriculum. The academic internship enhances the students' applied education and assists in the transition to the professional world. The department has strong ties with the local professional design community and an active student chapter of the American Society of Interior Designers (ASID).
Students also are exposed to a variety of experiences such as professional design critiques, a variety of different types of field trips, and community service projects. Students successfully completing the program are awarded a Bachelor of Arts degree; students already possessing a Bachelor of Arts degree upon entering the program will be granted a Certificate in Interior Design upon successful completion of the 72 credit hours in the major.
