We are committed to producing graduates who are not only skilled and creative but also deeply grounded in Christian values. This faith-based perspective inspires students to approach design as a form of service, fostering environments that reflect compassion, integrity and respect for individual diversity.
Our program prepares students for a wide range of professional career paths by offering a curriculum aligned with industry standards and best practices. With a strong emphasis on real-world application, the program consistently achieves impressive job placement rates with many graduates securing positions in interior design or pursuing graduate studies shortly after graduation.
Students have several global and domestic travel opportunities that provide meaningful exposure to diverse design contexts. Through both international and domestic trips students explore various areas of interest, visit professional firms and agencies, tour historical architecture, and engage with major galleries, studios and museums, broadening their understanding of design across cultural and historical settings.
Residential interior designers specialize in creating functional, safe and visually appealing living spaces in private homes, apartments and vacation properties. By working closely with clients to understand their lifestyle needs and aesthetic preferences, they develop tailored design concepts, layouts and material selections that bring each vision to life.
Commercial interior designers shape dynamic environments such as offices, retail spaces, restaurants, hotels and health care facilities by emphasizing branding, functionality, accessibility and safety. They apply evidence-based design principles to create spaces that are immersive, ergonomic and technologically integrated, while also considering sustainability and user experience.
Allied design professionals encompass a wide range of specialized roles that support and expand the field of interior design, including lighting designers, project managers, sales representatives, and furniture or product designers. Their diverse expertise contributes to the innovation and functionality of design across various industries.
