sequence
The Bachelor of Interior Architecture is a 5-year professional degree accredited by the Council for Interior Design Accreditation that prepares students to become licensed interior designers. Our innovative approach to education integrates ongoing, real-world design practice with traditional classroom learning. The BAC curriculum focuses on the character and use of spaces alongside aesthetics and structure, exploring everything from color, light, acoustics, and functional objects to user experience, environmental graphics, and brand identity. Students develop their ability to assess and shape spaces for living, learning, working, and healing, and they learn to design interiors in the context of social and technological changes.
