Interior Design

Interior designers shape human experience and enhance quality of life by creating environments that are sustainable, meaningful, innovative, and functional.

RMCAD’s interior design graduates create spaces that are as aesthetically pleasing as they are healthy and resource efficient.

The BFA in interior design is a first-professional degree that provides students with the educational qualifications to enter the design profession and gain the necessary experience to successfully complete the NCIDQ examination. www.ncidq.org

Interior design is both an art and a science. At RMCAD, we approach it as an extension of the arts while being grounded in the social and natural sciences of psychology, sociology, anthropology, ecology, and biology.

When you graduate from our program, you will be prepared to work as skilled, ethical, environmentally responsible professional designers committed to improving the health, safety and welfare of the public while embracing your own vision and creativity.

“The Interior Design faculty at RMCAD is truly special. Known on a first name basis, there have been numerous times when I have seen them give up their weekends to help us with projects, personally recognize students for great work, or just be a friend when you need someone to talk to, and even host brunch for a meeting.”
–Anna Alcorn, ID student

You will learn the theories and skills necessary for professional practice from faculty who are practicing design professionals and educators. Our program is accredited by the Council for Interior Design Accreditation (CIDA) and is rigorous yet highly rewarding. www.accredit-id.org

See our Accreditation Page for more information.

The B.F.A. in Electronic Design & Multimedia is a professional specialization in art and design for print and screen-based media, and integrates a variety of digital media into all stages of design and production. It emphasizes a foundation in the principles of basic design as the prerequisite to intensive studio practice in design and imaging for a variety of visual communications media.

The program builds skills in typography, design and imaging and visual problem-solving completely integrated into digital technology. From a base of design and imaging and digital photography studies, students can move on to print design and production courses and to courses in, motion graphics, interactive design, web design and animation, and 3D design and animation. These courses are concept, not software-driven and give students the flexibility of working in design or fine art contexts.

Using the industry standards in hardware and software, students gain practice in both concept and production. Students are encouraged to gain practical experience through internships and freelance projects.

The Art Department offers both a B.F.A.in Electronic Design & Multimedia and a BA in Studio Art. While the B.F.A. is a professional degree, the The B.A. program in Art is a liberal arts degree program that balances design training with general studio arts course work.

The Bachelor of Applied Arts - Interior Design program provides four years of full-time study to students wishing to pursue a professional career related to the design of the built environment. The curriculum integrates professional and general studies content with an emphasis on critical thinking and applied research, and is enriched with an additional focus on international perspectives in interior design.

The program contains a strong experiential component that includes simulated studio experiences, community-based design initiatives, and a 14-week co-op work term. In their fourth year of study students are given the opportunity to specialize in an area of interest specific to the profession and are required to complete an applied research paper. This integration of theory, analysis, and practice prepares graduates to assume leadership roles within the profession. Graduates of the BAA - Interior Design will be able to apply strategic thinking and a research orientation to their responsibilities as professional interior designers, and will contribute to the development and evolution of the field of design.

This program meets the eligibility requirements for CIDA accreditation at the first professional degree level. The program also qualifies graduates to meet industry standards as established by official interior design professional bodies (IDC, ARIDO, NCIDQ, ASID).

This program is part of the Mobile Computing (laptop) Initiative at Algonquin College, which will better prepare students for an increasingly technology-oriented workplace.
