Program Overview

Explore design thinking, sustainability, socially responsible practices, building systems and construction in a fully online one-year Honours Bachelor of Interior Design (Degree Completion) (T320) program.

The program prepares students for entry-level interior design practice, advanced study and application for membership in professional interior design organizations.
