About Interior Design, B.f.a. in Georgia State University
The B.F.A. in Interior Design program prepares students for successful careers in the rapidly growing and changing field of interior design. It strives to reflect the values of contemporary interior design practice as it prepares graduates for careers as licensed professional interior designers who are adept at providing provocative aesthetic solutions to client needs while managing program, schedules and budgets.
The Interior Design program is highly competitive and requires the submission of a portfolio for admission into the concentration. Following a year of required fine arts foundations coursework, Interior Design applicants take three introductory classes in the fall of their sophomore year to qualify to submit B.F.A. application portfolios for admission into the concentration. The initial 3000-level courses:
- are open to potential Interior Design majors who have completed the first-year Art & Design foundations course sequence;
- introduce varied practical aspects of contemporary interior design practice;
- introduce critical analysis and evaluation methods applied to current and historical architecture and interior spaces; and
- introduce basic architectural drawing (drafting) and communication skills required of successful Interior Design majors.
