The bachelor of interior architecture program consists of a four-year course of study following the one-year environmental design studies program. The department's five-year program is one of the first curricula in this profession to be recognized and accredited by the Foundation for Interior Design Education Research in the United States. The Department of Interior Architecture's professional program is also accredited by the National Association of Schools of Art and Design.

The curriculum is structured for students who plan a professional career in space planning in commercial, institutional, and industrial interior design. The learning experience is gained through the focus placed upon the departments's educational programs in interior architectural space planning, furniture, and product design. After an introduction to basic interior space planning, students undertake studio exercises that include programming and designing of spaces. Special emphasis is placed on spatial organization, behavior analysis, space component design, furniture design and construction, product and exhibit design, the integration of environmental systems, building rehabilitation, and the preparation of working drawings and contract documents.

Computers in the studio
The department provides a supportive and integrated studio beginning with the fifth semester, when students can bring in their own CAD-capable computers. The department provides cabinets, peripheral equipment, and a secure environment with updated electrical and data connections. Use of the computer and appropriate software is integrated into all the departmental courses from this point on. Computers are the tool of choice in today's design offices, and the department strives to fully educate its students on their uses.

Internship program
A 30-week, full-time, paid internship is an available option for the spring semester of the fourth year. Students may apply their skills in a professional design environment while receiving 14 hours credit.

Foreign study program
During their fourth year, interior architecture students may participate in the semester long exchange program between K-State and the interior architecture program at Trier, Germany. This program is on a space-available basis only. Other foreign studies options exist with the college's Italian studies program; the university's student exchange program with Prague, in the Czech Republic; and with several universities in Australia. The Italian program allows students from the three professional programs to participate in an invaluable learning experience at Santa Chiara. These foreign studies options can be taken as an alternative to the internship program or remaining at K-State for the semester. Students may earn 15 hours of credit while overseas.

General education philosophy
The responsibilities of the interior architect/ designer encompass all spaces within environments built for human habitation. Our goal is to develop creative professionals who can synthesize information and analyze problems from many perspectives. New technologies affect the skills and knowledge required for designers.

The best preparation for the future is an education that will enable graduates to adapt to a changing world. Adaptation to change requires that the graduate draw on history and on experience of many cultures and apply the theories of empirical investigation. A sound curriculum for professional interior architectural education balances the broad cultural aspects of education and the specialized practical content integral to the profession.
