Interior Architecture & Design

Create environments that tell a story.

The world is changing, and the way we design our environments—the spaces where we live, shop, work, and relax—matters more than ever. With CCAD’s Interior Architecture & Design program, you’ll find the facilities, tools, and faculty to help you make your design vision real. Here, you’ll learn how to design spaces that are beautiful and functional.

Our program focuses on a user-centered approach, meaning we start with the needs of the people who will be using a space. From there, students research, plan, design, and problem solve through real world exercises. Our flexible curriculum means you can choose to specialize in the area that interests you the most, whether that’s retail, residential, or educational spaces, furniture design, or environmental design. And you’ll take courses focused on hand sketching, computer modeling and rendering, drafting, and communications, giving you a range of skills that will help you succeed whichever direction you choose.
