Welcome to the Interior Design Program

The Interior Design Program at Michigan State University offers a broad range of possibilities for an exciting future. Professional practices in residential, commercial, as well as specialized fields such as healthcare, retail, housing for the elderly, and sales are available for the interior design graduate. The professional organization American Society of Interior Designers (ASID) has an active student chapter at Michigan State University, which hosts interesting and informative programs involving a variety of design professionals.

Our program is one of the longest continually accredited programs in the country. It boasts an outstanding resource room with an extensive collection of manufacturers' catalogs and library resources. During the junior and senior years, you may participate in field trips to places like Chicago's Merchandise Mart and historic restoration sites across the Midwest.

Students enter Interior Design Program as freshmen or transfer students. Special note for transfer students interested in the Interior Design Program: You are advised to apply for admission to MSU after one year at another institution because of the scheduling of required MSU courses. The number of students admitted as juniors to Interior Design Program is limited; admission is selective and based on your cumulative grade point average.

The Interior Design Program at Michigan State University has been continually accredited by the Council for Interior Design Accreditation (CIDA, formerly Foundation for Interior Design Education Research) since 1976. CIDA has a website at http://www.accredit-id.org/.
