"Interior design is an art. It is not a fine art. It cannot luxuriate in its independence ascan painting and sculpture, forming itself without regard to any but aesthetic demands. It is,instead, a hardworking art, with serious and sometimes mundane problems to solve. . . . Interiordesign is also a craft. Technique and experience count a lot in this field, just as they do in thefinest of fine arts. . . . [Expertise] is achieved through the increasingly rigorous education that ourprofession requires and through the subsequent practical application of that education." Stanley Abercrombie, FAIA

The Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Interior Design is a four-year FIDER accredited professional degree. The minimum number of semester credit hours required for the degree, including Core Curriculum requirements, is 132. Students are advised to complete the B.S. in Interior Design degree coursework in the order indicated within the “Recommended Curriculum” issued by the College of Architecture for their catalog year.
Transfer Students: All transfer students are required to submit a bound portfolio (maximum size 8.5 inches by 11 inches) to the College of Architecture as soon as admittance to the University is approved. Portfolios must be received at the College of Architecture prior to the second week in March for Fall Semester admissions; and prior to the second week in August for Spring Semester admissions. The portfolio must clearly demonstrate creative and communicative skills in written and graphic form. A complete transcript of all professional courses accompanied by the catalog descriptions from the originating institutions must be included. Do not send slides or original work. A postage-paid, self-addressed return envelope must be included for return of the work to the candidate. The portfolio will be reviewed by a faculty committee to determine the student’s placement within the curricular sequence.
Portfolio Review: All students in the B.S. in Interior Design program are required to complete a portfolio review prior to their entrance into the third year of interior design studies. Without a portfolio, submission students will not be allowed to take ANY 3000-level or above courses; therefore, all students are required to submit a bound portfolio (maximum size 8.5 inches by 11 inches) prior to the second week in March. The portfolio must clearly demonstrate creative and communicative skills in written and graphic form. A Portfolio Review Committee composed of faculty in the College of Architecture will evaluate the portfolio to determine the level of advancement.
Student Work: The College of Architecture reserves the right to retain, exhibit, and reproduce work submitted by students. Work submitted for grading is the property of the College and remains such until it is returned to the student.
Core Curriculum requirements: Students seeking the Bachelor of Science degree in Interior Design must fulfill University Core Curriculum requirements in the same manner as other students. The courses listed in the table below satisfy both degree requirements and Core Curriculum requirements; however, if these courses are taken to satisfy both requirements, then students will need to take additional courses in order to meet the minimum number of semester credit hours required for this degree. For a complete listing of courses that satisfy the Core Curriculum requirements see pages 5–9 of this catalog.

Interior designers contribute to the well-being of society by designing built environments that are functional, holistically developed, and aesthetically pleasing. Today's designers are aware of diverse cultural needs, accountable for accessible, sustainable and environmental decisions, and sensitive to issues of taste, gender and perception.
Humber's Interior Design program lets students successfully develop and combine creative talent with research skills, technology and problem solving. The curriculum is supported by a unique blend of courses in liberal arts and applied science. Interior design studios enable mastery of the design process, presentation abilities, and vital project administration/business skills. Innovative design projects are integrated across the curriculum each semester. Directed work placement provides hands-on, job-ready capability. Collaboration with related design disciplines and with community-based projects provides a virtual-studio experience. There's also a site-tutorial where students observe and reflect on the perception of spaces and human behaviour. Finally, students are encouraged to select, research, develop, and document a large-scale public project from initial concept to construction documentation. Faculty are currently working on a joint venture proposal for a virtual design studio project with design schools across Canada and Europe.
*In 2000, our diploma program was first to receive professional accreditation by the Council for Interior Design Accreditation (formerly FIDER). FIDER has since accredited Humber's degree program. The program is also recognized by the Association for Interior Designers of Ontario (ARIDO).
The paid work term is from May to August after semester six, and lasts 14 weeks. Students must find their own placement, and are encouraged to take career management workshops to develop effective job search skills. The school provides support, such as working with business and industry to identify co-op employment opportunities.
Any Grade 12U or OAC Mathematics. Students who do not possess Grade 12U or OAC Mathematics or have achieved a mark below 60 per cent may be considered for admission. Students will be required to complete a math equivalency course during first year;
Note: Grade and/or course requirements are used in the selection process for all programs. Refer to admissions.humber.ca/cutoffs for admissions cut-offs. If applicants are enrolled in Grade 12 required subjects (as indicated above), in the second semester (February to June), Grade 11 marks will be used. Meeting the minimum requirements does not guarantee admission to the program. Refer to the Selection Procedures section for more information

Picture yourself on a design team in a large firm - working with architects/engineers for an interdisciplinary consulting firm - as a consultant for a resource alliance manufacturer - as an in-house designer or planner. Over 53 per cent of the members of the Interior Designers of Canada work in Ontario.
$1,000 - $1,500 per year for materials and books; field trip travel expenses; $1,800 for off -campus site tutorial; safety boots and hard hat; access to a computer with Internet, word processing/presentation software; additional software (also available to students in computer labs on campus).
Humber has been granted a consent by the Minister of Training, Colleges and Universities to offer this applied degree for a five-year term starting March 3, 2005. Humber shall ensure that all students admitted to the above-named program during the period of consent will have the opportunity to complete the program within a reasonable time frame.
Humber also offers a two-year Interior Decorating diploma program 31511 (not a formal foundation for the Interior Design degree program). A bridging program is currently under development to help Interior Design diploma graduates bridge into the fourth year of the Interior Design degree program (commencing in the winter semester of 2008).
