Several factors have contributed to this success:

• Hands-on Training -- Learning by doing is critical in a field like interior design. At Ball State, you will get many opportunities to work on real-life projects.
• Small Class Size -- Smaller classes is a hallmark of Ball State as a whole. In our program you will work closely with interior design faculty who have a wide variety of real-world experiences in interior design.
• Architecture -- Ball State has the only architecture program among public universities in Indiana. Architecture is a natural compliment to interior design, so as a major you can also take  designated architecture courses as directed electives.
• Internships -- All interior design majors are required to have an internship. These internships give you valuable experience when looking for your first job.
• Technology -- Ball State has been long committed to having advanced technology for its students just like you would find in the workplace. In addition, you will enjoy access to a wireless campus and much more.
• Socially Responsible Curriculum -- Today's interior designers need to know more than just how to make a room look good, they need to have a full scope of understanding about environmentally-friendly design and universal design, which means the space is usable for a wide variety of people, even those with physical limitations. Ball State excels in this area.
