About the Interior Design Program
The interior design program combines design, art, textile science and architecture courses to give students a well-rounded design education. Throughout the program, students learn about design theory and human behavior, including how design impacts the psychological and social structures of individuals and communities. In addition to their coursework, students have the opportunity to network with interior design professionals, join the interior design club and submit their work to national and international design competitions. If you're interested in obtaining an interior design degree, we have two options for you within our program:
Interior Design Minor
Tack on an interior design minor to your primary degree! Students must be enrolled in an undergraduate degree program at UW to pursue an interior design minor. This minor is a particularly valuable program for architectural engineering students who want to learn more about creating aesthetic and functional interior spaces.
Interior Design Concentration
Pursue an interior design concentration within our B.S. in Design, Merchandising and Textiles and dive deep into the world of interior design!
The interior design degree is part of University of Wyoming's Design, Merchandising and Textiles program, which is accredited by the National Association for Schools of Art and Design (NASAD).
What can you do with an interior design degree?
Interior design students go on to pursue careers in interior design, architecture and more! Some students use the degree to supplement their other degrees/trainings and pursue a related career field, like architecture, graphic design or marketing. Other students choose to dive into the interior design world after they graduate. Additionally, some interior design students use what they learn in graduate school for architecture and related subjects.

If you're not pursing the interior design concentration under the B.S. in Design, Merchandising and Textiles, here are a few majors that can give your interior design minor journey a strong start:
Interior designers plan and create interior spaces that are functional, safe and visually appealing. They work with clients to understand their goals, then use design principles, space planning and color theory to bring those ideas to life. Interior designers choose materials and furniture, create drawings or digital models and often collaborate with architects and contractors to complete a project. Whether designing homes, offices or public spaces, they blend creativity with practical problem-solving to shape how people experience the spaces around them.
