A Professional Interior Design Degree Built for Contemporary Practice

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.

Vision. Precision. Execution.

Through studio-based coursework, students translate bold ideas into built environments. The curriculum moves from foundational design thinking and visual communication into advanced studios spanning residential, commercial, healthcare, and community contexts. Along the way, students refine skills in space planning, materials and textiles, lighting, building systems, codes, and digital documentation, always in service of a clear design concept. Graduates leave prepared to carry a project from inspiration and narrative through fully coordinated, buildable solutions that balance artistry with technical precision.
