Organizational Unit Overview:
The College of Health and Human Performance has six units: Human Development and Family Science, Health Education and Promotion, Interior Design and Merchandising, Kinesiology, Recreation Sciences, and School of Social Work. These academic units are responsible for teaching the courses and advising students in each unit.
The Department of Interior Design and Merchandising offers two academic programs and a variety of experiences for students. Our academic programs include a BS in Interior Design and a BS in Fashion Merchandising and Consumer Studies. The BS in Merchandising has two distinct concentrations in Fashion and the other in Interiors. All of our programs are fully accredited.
Within the Interior Design Program, our shared value of design for human needs provides a common purpose connecting the practice of interior design to the consequential issues of society (e.g., environmental degradation, human health and well-being, cultural diversity, social justice, and sustainable community). As such, the interior design program is a catalyst for fostering connections with communities while preparing students for assuming diverse roles in entry-level interior design practice.
