The Bachelor of Design in Interior Design at Maryland Institute College of Art is a 120-credit professional degree grounded in storytelling, atmosphere, material expression, and the emotional impact of space. From the start, students approach interior design as both an art form and a responsibility, shaping environments that are visually compelling and conceptually rich while grounded in research, human-centered design, and professional standards. Health, safety, and welfare are integrated throughout the program in alignment with pathways toward the National Council for Interior Design Qualification (NCIDQ) and long-term licensure eligibility, ensuring graduates are prepared for professional practice without diminishing creative vision.
