2411 - Human Ecology: Interior Design (B.S.)
The Interior Design program is accredited by the Council for Interior Design Accreditation and the National Association of Schools of Art and Design (NASAD). The program is also endorsed by the National Kitchen and Bath Association (NKBA).
The Interior Design program reserves the right to retain student work for upcoming accreditation site visits.
Continuation Standards
- A grade of C (70%) or better in an interior design course is required for that course to be considered as successfully completed in the Interior Design Program, and for that course to count as a prerequisite for subsequent courses in the interior design course sequence. A grade of D or F in an interior design course must be repeated in order to continue, prolonging the time it takes to complete the Interior Design Program.
- Human Ecology 229 (Sophomore Juried Portfolio Review) - In order for a student to continue progression into junior level interior design classes, the student must make one of the tope 15 averaged scores on the Sophomore Juried Portfolio Review. The review consists of a comprehensive exam and a juried project. Students are not allowed to fail either section of the review and must have an averaged score of 75% or better.
