Interior Design Program

The Interior Design program at the University of Arkansas originated in 1974 in the Department of Home Economics. After several changes, the degree became the Bachelor of Interior Design (B.I.D.) in 1999-2000, and the program joined the Fay Jones School of Architecture in July 2010. The curriculum emphasizes design as a creative, problem-solving skill. Students learn to create environments that meet diverse human needs and desires.

I have a strong background in math and science, but I've always been interested in design, and it's always been a part of me that I wanted to explore. I thought with architecture I could use both sides of my brain!
