Overview

The Interior Design department's mission at East Carolina University is to provide students with the skills and knowledge aligned with industry demands for entry into a global and multicultural society and workforce. The Council for Interior Design Accreditation (CIDA) is the accrediting body for the interior design concentration. The fashion and interior merchandising concentrations are affiliated with the Textile and Apparel Programs Accreditation Commission (TAPAC).

Students entering the program start with a core set of courses to broaden their knowledge of how living environments and clothing influence each other to help human meet their varying needs.

Key Facts

Interior design faculty evaluate the submitted portfolios and recommend that students enter professional-level interior design courses. Students need to meet the proficiency level required for the professional-level courses. Students can resubmit a portfolio a maximum of two times. Meeting the minimum standards does not guarantee entry into professional-level classes. Students must maintain a 2.5 GPA or better in all IDSN required courses throughout the program.

Students may also choose the interiors merchandising concentration. Interiors merchandising provides students with a more in-depth understanding of the principles of interior design but with the intent of preparing them for positions that align with business acumen in design firms, furniture retailers, and other auxiliary services that support interior designers.

All students are required to complete at least one internship course. Merchandising concentrations are required to complete two internship experiences. Students are responsible for interviewing and securing their own internship experiences.
