B.A. Interior Design

New Jersey Institute of Technology

It is the mission of the Interior Design program to provide students the opportunity to participate in the design, development and implementation of creative and technical solutions for a variety of interior environments in which all people exist and function. The program offers coursework that synthesizes design history and theory, structural and technical systems, legal, ethical, and economic frameworks for professional practice along with the social, cultural and environmental context of the built environment. Students will deal with Interior Design in the context of the architectural and engineering environments in which their anticipated projects reside. The program prepares students to fully utilize 21st century technology, specifically information technology and digital media, in the process and products of Interior Design. An additional and critical goal of the program is the preparation of students to work in maintaining the health, safety and welfare of the public by understanding and adhering to building and life safety codes, having an awareness of ergonomics, universal design, and ADA requirements, and becoming knowledgeable about environmentally responsible building practices and materials. And, as designers, we want everything to look good.
