CCA's fertile, cross-disciplinary environment provides an ideal setting in which to investigate the cultural role of interior design.

Interior Design students develop projects within a convergence of environmental, architectural, and social contexts, with an emphasis on creativity and habitability. Program faculty encourages the critical thinking necessary for an understanding of human interaction; students gain all the essential conceptual and technical skills to successfully compete in today's marketplace.

Foundation courses teach a methodology of research, analysis, design, presentation, and, most importantly, concept development. During the junior year, students may participate in a unique studio program that affords travel to other cities and regions, fostering an understanding of various cultural contexts through which to explore architecture, environments, and interiors.

Students then create a studio project based on that evolving knowledge and insight. Seniors complete a focused senior project and thesis.

Each student also selects from course offerings in such other programs as Architecture, Fashion Design, Furniture, Graphic Design, Industrial Design, and Visual Studies.
