  • Objectives
    Interior design is more than just arranging furniture. It has evolved into a multifaceted profession dealing with complete environments that not only please but enhance the health and safety of the user. Like other interior design programs, we encourage creative vision and develop your design skills—but creativity alone won’t make you a successful working interior designer. At FIT, we emphasize the practical skills you need to get your project done. By the time you graduate, you’ll be able to envision great spaces—and know how to build them, too.
