The Minor in Interior Architecture allows Architecture and Landscape Architecture majors to expand their design expertise while offering students from other disciplines coursework that connects design thinking and placemaking with human behavior and function.
- Undergraduate students in any major may apply for the Interior Architecture minor. Applicants should connect with an advisor to discuss their proposed plan of study.
- The Department of Interior Architecture prioritizes course access for its majors; therefore, enrollment in minor courses cannot be guaranteed.
