An Interior Design major, typically a four-year bachelor's degree, covers space planning, color and materials, lighting, furniture, building and accessibility codes, construction documents, and the history of interiors and architecture. Most programs are studio-intensive: students move through a sequence of design studios, learn drafting and CAD/BIM tools, and assemble a portfolio. Coursework usually includes building systems, environmental and sustainable design, and a professional-practice course covering contracts, budgets, and working with contractors.
Graduates plan and document interior environments for residential, commercial, hospitality, healthcare, and institutional clients, balancing aesthetics with code compliance, accessibility, and how people use a space. Day-to-day work spans client meetings, drawings and specifications, materials and furniture selection, and coordination with architects and contractors through construction. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects employment of interior designers to grow 3.2% from 2024 to 2034.
The field is closely related to architecture and graphic design, and many students pair the major with coursework in construction or environmental design. Per the BLS, the 2024 median annual wage for interior designers was $63,490, with earnings varying by specialty, employer, and location.
