Interior Design at UT-Arlington focuses on the commercial, institutional, and large-project scale activities of the profession, a focus very appropriate in the context of architecture.
The Bachelor of Science in Interior Design is a four-year program, interdisciplinary with architecture, on the design of interior environments. Following the two-year Basic Studies sequence, the student completes two years of Major Studies, an intensive series of courses and studios on the theory, history, skill, and practice of interior design. The program leads to the full professional degree in Interior Design. The program is fully accredited by the Foundation for Interior Design Research (FIDER).
MAJOR REQUIREMENTS: Entrance Requirements
All entering students majoring in Interior Design are admitted as Interior Design-Intended majors.
As Interior Design-Intended, students complete 1st and 2nd year ARCH courses in the correct sequence and also complete their core curriculum. These courses must be completed before declaring major and enrolling in any 3000/4000 level ARCH/INTD courses.
The Undergraduate Interior Design Program consists of a series of lectures and design studios that must be taken sequentially. The program will take a minimum of 8 semesters to complete for both new freshmen and transfer students.
The course sequencing of both the design and lecture courses has been designed to help students successfully complete the program and the course sequencing is strictly enforced.
To be declared into the Interior Design major, students must complete all requirements for admission to a degree program. Applicants must meet the department’s minimum 2.5 GPA requirement (requirement changes to minimum 2.8 GPA starting Fall 2008).
Students must complete all Basic Studies courses (first two years of the degree program) in Interior Design and must complete the Core Curriculum of the course sequence before qualifying to take any 3000/4000 ARCH or INTD course.
Students not within the program must obtain special permission from the Architecture Undergraduate Advisor to enroll in a 3000/4000 level course.
Students interested in changing their major into the SOA from another major are required to have a minimum 2.5 GPA in UTA courses.
