MISSION STATEMENT The mission of the Interior Design Program is to prepare students for entry level positions in the interior design profession and to provide opportunities for students to explore the wide range of career options to fit their individual goals. A focus on professional practice including certification and licensure informs students of critical issues influencing practice in support of their career endeavors and promotes design leadership. Professional experiences including engagement with the DFW interior design community, a formalized internship structure, and exposure to a wide range of opportunities support the mission. PROGRAM PHILOSOPHY The program philosophy is reflected in our teaching and respect for diversity, not only of our students, but in support of the range of career paths they choose. Our core belief in legal recognition for professional practice is guided by the NCIDQ definition of “interior design.” We encourage and promote personal and professional growth and development through many experiences in the classroom, the design community, and volunteer opportunities. Students benefit from the wide range of support that is  provided by the design community to assist, mentor, employ, and  develop emerging talent through professional association involvement. PROGRAM GOALS The interior design program prepares graduates for professional careers by providing opportunities through which students learn the environmental, technical, aesthetic, and human-centered aspects of design. Students understand the impact of interior design decisions on the built environment and its occupants as they develop awareness of global issues, from sustainability to cultural and societal issues where design makes a difference. The program focuses on evidence-based design solutions and promotes interdisciplinary collaboration with related disciplines including architecture, landscape architecture, lighting design, community development, and others. We are committed to inspiring the next generation of design thinkers and leaders and to that purpose, provide experiences that reflect professional practices, collaboration, and expanding opportunities beyond the classroom.
