Interior Design

Program Info: The Interior Design program at West Virginia University is a four-year, CIDA (Council for Interior Design Accreditation) accredited program with an international focus. Students learn to identify, research and creatively solve problems pertaining to the design of functional and high quality interior environments.

There is a competitive entry system, and students are evaluated at the end of their first year and selected based on their performance in interior design courses, projects, and overall grade point average. Students in our program are involved in a variety of hands-on activities and experience many opportunities to participate in “real world” design applications.

As part of the international focus of the program, all design students are required to study abroad in the spring semester of their third year. Students are also encouraged to enroll in internships where they are able to learn and work with practicing designers while earning university credit. .
