Bachelor of Fine Arts
The Interior Design major is one of the oldest established majors at Kendall, with a continual high professional placement record among its alumni. The program has been accredited by the Council for Interior Design Accreditation (CIDA) since the early 70s. CIDA is the only accrediting body for interior design education in the United States and Canada. Students focus on creative problem solving to enhance the function and aesthetic quality of interior environments and study universal and sustainable design principles in residential and commercial projects. Their work is comprehensive, incorporating design, drawing, art history, general education, technical skills and interior design knowledge. The interior design faculty members are practioners as well as educators and believe that the broad cultural aspects of education and the specialized content unique to interior design are essential to a well-educated student and professional. Kendall College of Art and Design is located in the heart of contract furniture. In addition to coursework, students gain knowledge of the profession through field trips, internships, and other educational experiences in furniture companies, interior design firms, and architecture firms.
