Interior Architecture and Design Assistant: Practical experience as an Interior Architecture and Design assistant in the Art Department. May be repeated once for credit. term.)
Capstone 1: Research and Programming: Part I of the capstone studio concentration in interior architecture and design provides an opportunity to explore areas of interest and project types that are civically engaged. Through problem exploration, information gathering, research, and analyzing findings, a comprehensive qualitative and quantitative design program is prepared to inform for part two of the capstone project. A grade of C or higher must be earned in this course. major. (Offered every fall term.)
Capstone II: Design Synthesis: Part II of the capstone studio concentration in interior architecture and design provides an opportunity for students to reflect on their mastery of the knowledge and skills required within the practice of the profession. Starting with their programming efforts in Part I of the capstone experience, students synthesize their findings, move through the design process, seek feedback from consultants, and present their capstone project to peers, faculty, and industry professionals.
Professional Practice of Interior Architecture and Design: What can you expect working in the profession? What theories, beliefs, views and feelings might you have as you enter the work force? This course analyses business and legal aspects of interior design practice by focusing on individual philosophies, introduction to Interior Design and project management, discussions on marketing, financial and personnel matters.
