Interior Design is an exciting and rapidly growing field with a broad range of career options. The practice of interior design combines aesthetics and technology in the total design of interior environments, which includes programming, space planning, finish materials, fabrics, furniture, and lighting. Starting in the fall of 2006, Brenau’s Bachelor of Fine Arts in Interior Design will be awarded with the Masters of Interior Design at the end of the five-year program. The BFA/MID combination provides an edge over other bachelor only programs, offering you liberal arts, business, and design electives and the option to begin professional practice in your final year of study. A variety of job opportunities are available to you once you have obtained your BFA/MID degree including residential design, commercial design or space and facilities planning. You may focus on a specialized area such as kitchen design, theatre set design, or sustainable design or in an area as broad as hospitality or healthcare design. Brenau’s program is certified by the Council for Interior Design Accreditation, formerly FIDER. Our mission is to provide excellence in interior design education to prepare you to practice effectively as a professional interior designer. This education develops your ability to practice effectively as an interior designer. The interior design program is available at the Gainesville campus weekdays through the Women’s College and as part of our Evening & Weekend College at the Atlanta campus.
