📖Introduction
West Virginia University (WVU) has evolved into a prominent research university, offering a diverse array of academic programs and fostering a vibrant campus life.
WVU provides a wide range of undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral programs across various fields, including the arts, humanities, social sciences, business, and STEM disciplines. The university's strong ties to its Appalachian heritage and dedication to community engagement are notable features, as seen through its initiatives to address regional challenges and contribute to the economic development of the state. With a combination of rigorous academic offerings, a vibrant campus atmosphere, and a strong sense of community, West Virginia University continues to provide students with a comprehensive educational experience and opportunities for personal and professional growth.
In response to professional industry trends, the WVU Interior Design program has expanded its curriculum to include building and construction systems and changed its major name to Interior Architecture beginning with the incoming 1st year class of 2021. Graduates still practice interior design and can be certified by the National Council for Interior Design Qualification exam but will have a wider range of skills.
Interior designers create architectural interiors that improve inhabitants' quality of life and protect the health, safety, and welfare of the public. The interior architecture program at West Virginia University prepares students for entry-level interior design practice and meets the education requirement for National Council for Interior Design Qualifications (NCIDQ) certification. NCIDQ certification is the basic credential required by most states that license interior design/interior architecture professionals. In addition to an educational requirement, NCIDQ certification requires the completion of two years of professional practice as an interior designer and passing the NCIDQ examination.
