Can anyone here share their knowledge or experiences with Interior Design programs at HBCUs? I'm really into the creative arts and would love to learn more about my options at historically black colleges.
Absolutely, HBCUs offer some strong programs in creative arts disciplines, including Interior Design. Howard University, for instance, has a well-regarded Design Department. Their Interior Design program is CIDA (Council for Interior Design Accreditation) certified, which is crucial for ensuring the quality and rigor of the curriculum.
Additionally, Florida A&M University (FAMU) offers a program in architectural studies that could be tailored with classes in interior design. Both these programs are not just about learning the technical skills, but also about understanding the cultural and historical contexts of design, which can be quite enriching.
