      What is a BA in Interior Design? A Bachelor of Arts in Interior Design is a liberal arts degree, as opposed to a fine arts degree, that is awarded when students complete the corresponding undergraduate program. Students gain invaluable skills that prepare them for careers in conceptual design for a variety of spaces. Not only do students learn how to create technical 3-D designs, they also learn how to communicate them through different visual media platforms. The bachelor’s degree in interior design also focuses on creative problem solving, for example solving layout issues in spaces of different sizes and shapes.

      Interior design students gain many practical and creative skills throughout the program. Graduates become competitive job applicants who offer employers both technical and artistic assets, which is a rare combination in today’s workforce. Interior design students also gain hands-on experience throughout the degree, which usually culminates in a professional portfolio to show to prospective employers.

      Costs vary greatly from program to program. Degree costs often depend on the time length required for completion, as well as any areas of concentration students choose to add to the undergraduate program. Students are advised to research thoroughly programs and schools before committing to one to ensure it matches their academic goals and financial needs.

      Interior design students are prepared for careers in a variety of industries. They may work as residential or commercial interior designers.
