Directed Electives
Directed electives in the School of Interiors represent an opportunity for each student to establish a focus of study to augment required studio courses and lecture classes. In recognizing the breadth and diversity of approaches to design, the faculty of the School recognize that through this requirement students also might engage in an academic minor or a certificate program offered at the University. Directed Electives courses allow you to gain in-depth knowledge about subjects and topics that are of interest to you and to supplement your degree program.
