Your first year is designed to build a strong foundation for your future career or continued education. The curriculum includes:
Freshman Seminar: This course helps you acclimate to university life and the academic rigor of our program.
Introduction to Interior Architecture: You'll be introduced to the core principles and practices of the field.
History of Art I: This course provides a vital historical and theoretical context for your design studies.
General Education Requirements: We'll guide you through the necessary general education courses to support your future goals, whether that's launching your career or pursuing a graduate degree.
Your first year in Interior Architecture and Design is a journey of discovery. You'll dive into the diverse professions within the field and explore different areas of interest. You'll also meet the other students who will be with you on this four-year path to graduation—your cohort.
By the end of your first year, you'll have a clearer understanding of the areas you'd like to specialize in. You'll then declare your minor, allowing you to tailor your schedule for the remaining six semesters and shape your unique academic journey.
