Portfolio Review
Following a typical course load, you can expect to participate in portfolio review at the end of the second semester of your first year.
Portfolio review ensures that you have acquired an understanding of essential design knowledge from foundation-level classes and are prepared to move on to more advanced coursework.
You must pass the review in order to continue on with your coursework and complete your degree.
To participate in portfolio review, you must be a pre-interior design major with an overall GPA of at least 2.50 and a minimum grade of C- in required courses.
Required Internship
Interior design students gain skills, network with professionals, and clarify their career goals during their internships. Internships typically last for one academic semester or a summer session.
Geographically, students have completed internships in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area, Boston, Chicago, New York, Milwaukee, and other major cities in the United States as well as international locations such as London.
The interior design program coursework and faculty guidance prepare students to seek and apply for successful internship experiences in the design industry. In return, the internship experience enables students to enrich their classroom learning via time with engaged mentors.
Learning Abroad
Your global education in interior design includes the opportunity to participate in community engagement, learning abroad programs, and studio projects in global settings.
Choose from programs located in cities across the world, such as Wellington, Copenhagen, and Glasgow.
Through these programs, you will develop an important global perspective that will influence your personal design style approach and ability to function as a global citizen.
