Field Study

The Interior Design Field Study is an excellent opportunity to gain hands-on experience within the design profession while earning credit toward your degree in interior design. Credit for this experience is only offered to students who have successfully completed all interior design course work through their third-year design studies. If you are not approved for field study, then use the credit hours for free electives. In addition, this opportunity is given to those students whose Field Study Application has been approved by the interior design faculty. Because of the nature of review, Field Study is an earned opportunity not a given right. Professionalism across the major is a major evaluative benchmark that determines whether or not a student can enroll for Field Study credit.

Application

To enroll in Field Study, interested students must first pick up and complete the Interior Design Field Study Application Form. This form must be signed and submitted to Tina Harvey in 201 Cowgill Hall no later than 4PM the Monday after returning from Thanksgiving break. At this point the faculty will review the Field Study applications and formally invite those accepted to participate in FS for credit by the end of the Fall semester, prior to the last day of classes. Professionalism within all ITDS courses is the top criteria for invitation to Field Study. Students with a strong record Fist, all FS must be overseen by a licensed or certified interior designer or architect. Exceptions to this rule will be made on a case by case basis as approved by the FS Coordinator.There are three steps toward fulfilling FS requirements. These steps are listed below and each step has a set of criteria that must be met at the time requested.
