The Interior Architecture program is accredited by the Council for Interior Design Accreditation (CIDA). This program, like the interior design profession, addresses the interior spaces and physical components of buildings. Students learn about design requirements and how to successfully address them through studio projects that cover commercial, institutional, hospitality, and residential settings. The academic foundation needed to undertake these projects is achieved through repeated engagement with basic problem solving, formal design skills, historical precedents, and technical knowledge. The curriculum of the program emphasizes design process, 3-D modeling, critical and creative thinking, and professional practice experience. The design studio is the core of the program and is where students and faculty share dialogue and regular interaction. In studio issues of design process, design theory, pragmatics and aesthetics, material applications, and technology are all brought together. Courses addressing design theory, history, materials and methods, color, lighting, professional practice, and graphic communication enhance the students’ abilities to create innovative and environmentally friendly spaces. Students interested in the Interior Architecture program will enter Ohio University with a premajor code of ND8836 (Preinterior Architecture).

Students with design work determined by the faculty to be equivalent to that of some or all of the portfolio review required coursework (as listed above) will be reviewed, for the purpose of determining admission to into the major, at the same time as all other portfolio review submissions. Transfer students admitted into the major must complete all major requirements determined to be missing from the student’s academic design experience.
