Overview

The Interior Design major at Oregon State University is a professional program (major code 458) offered through the College of Business. Entering students are designated as Pre-Interior Design majors (major code 454).

The lower-division pre-design program requires completion of courses within the first and second year (see core curriculum below) that build a solid foundation for the upper-division design curricula.

These courses must be completed before the student is eligible for admission to the upper-division studio-based curricula. The lower-division pre-design core coursework may be completed at OSU or any accredited college or university that offers equivalent courses transferable to OSU.

Admission to the upper-division studio-based Interior Design major is competitive and is restricted to those students who have demonstrated an ability to achieve the high standards required for professional studies.

Enrollment may be limited to the number of students who can be served by the faculty and facilities.

Key facts:
