The department offers academic credit to explore professional opportunities through the required Design Field Experience (DFE) program. During the summer, upper-division students have opportunities to enroll in the international programs including the Detmold School for Architecture and Interior Architecture at the University of the Applied Sciences in Detmold, Germany. To give students first-hand design exposure, the department organizes trips to interact with designers in experienced firms, installations, significant buildings and exhibitions in cities such as Atlanta and Chicago. Examples of interior design specializations include historic preservation and environmental sustainability.
