The Program

Dedicated to preparing future leaders and innovators in the global design community, the interior design program at Indiana State University offers a dynamic and progressive curriculum supported by top-notch facilities, frequent field trips, an active professional advisory board, and a faculty of practicing designers and scholars from around the world.

The program is one of only 159 programs worldwide to be accredited by the Council for Interior Design Accreditation (formerly FIDER).  Additionally, the program is one of only 18 four-year programs in America to be endorsed by the National Kitchen and Bath Design Association (NKBA). The program is also accredited by the National Association of Schools of Art & Design (NASAD). Program alumni can be found successfully practicing interior design from California to New York as well as abroad.
