    The mission of the Interior Design Program at The University of Alabama is to provide students with competent, entry-level interior design skills, including informed creative concepts developed through research that is synthesized and applied to design solutions.  The program’s goal is to help students understand the systematic relationship between well-being, the built environment, and sustainability while positively impacting human behavior and performance.

    Program Goals

    To equip students with the knowledge and skill to:
    1. Creatively solve design challenges presented in a variety of interior spaces, considering human needs based on age, gender, health, socioeconomics, and culture.
    2.  Recognize the value of human diversity and develop appreciation and sensitivity for designs based on different traditions.
    3. Effectively solve design problems through team interactions and interdisciplinary collaboration.
    4. Make responsible design choices for human well-being and the natural environment.

    Based on the above mission and goals, The University of Alabama’s Interior Design Program follows a logical sequence in the curriculum, which begins with knowledge and skill foundations that build from simple to more complex requirements with emphasis on the design process, critical thinking, user needs, and environmental awareness.
