and Graduate
NAU’s interior design plan provides a wide range of educational opportunities based on an integrated approach to aesthetic, professional, and academic disciplines.
To earn this degree, complete at least 120 units of coursework, which we describe in the sections that follow:
at least 35 units of liberal studies requirements. Be aware that you may not use courses with an ID prefix to satisfy these liberal studies requirements.
at least 76 units of major requirements
elective courses, if needed, to reach an overall total of at least 120 units
Be aware that some courses required for your degree may have prerequisites that you must also take. Check the courses in the appropriate subject. (You may be able to count these prerequisites toward your liberal studies or general elective credit.)
Please note that you must complete NAU’s diversity requirements by taking two 3-unit courses, one in ethnic diversity and one in global awareness. These courses may be used to meet other requirements within your academic plan if you choose them carefully. Click here for a list of the available diversity courses.
Also note that NAU requires that at least 30 units of the courses you take for your degree must be upper-division courses (those numbered 300 and above).
You must also earn at least a C in all ID courses.
Finally, please note that you may be able to use some courses to meet more than one requirement; however, you must still meet the total of at least 120 units to graduate. Contact your advisor for details.
Take the following 76 units:
ID 121,123, 221, 224, 246, 247, 322, 325, 361, 362, 407, 421, 425, 461, and 462 (43 units)
MER 232 (3 units)
ART 135 and 150 (6 units)
ID 230 (3 units)
6 units from HA 220, 260, 335, and 495 or from any ACC, BA, ECO, FIN, MGT, or MKT courses
ARH 141 and 142 (6 units)
PSY 101 (3 units)
ID 326W, which meets NAU’s junior writing requirement (3 units)
ID 490C, which meets NAU’s senior capstone requirement (3 units)
Additional coursework is required, if, after you have met the previously described requirements, you have not yet completed a total of 120 units of credit.
You may take these remaining courses from any academic areas, using these courses to pursue your specific interests and goals. We encourage you to consult with your advisor to select the courses that will be most advantageous to you. (Please note that you may also use prerequisites or transfer credits as electives if they weren’t used to meet major, minor, or liberal studies requirements.)
NAU currently supports a student branch of the American Society of Interior Designers; upon graduation from the B.S. in interior design, you may apply for associate membership in the ASID.
