Are there any colleges that have known good interior design programs in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania specifically or even anywhere else?

I am a ninth grader and I am looking into the interior design career and am looking into colleges that have good programs for this field that are known. It would be helpful if it were in Pittsburgh or even in Pennsylvania but if it's anywhere else it's okay too. I am looking for college or university specifically not trade school or community college. #college #university #design #college-majors #interior-design #interior

Hi Sarah,


We have a design school at University of Pennsylvania:


Formerly the Graduate School of Fine Arts, in fall 2003, the School officially became the University of Pennsylvania School of Design. Our new name—familiarly PennDesign—describes what we are now, a single school, within a great university, dedicated to promoting excellence in design across a rich diversity of programs—Architecture, City Planning, Landscape Architecture, Fine Arts, Historic Preservation, Digital Media Design and Visual Studies.


The change in our name underscores our belief in the centrality of design to all aspects of creativity. A dual challenge is offered to our students: explore a broad range of possibilities through both practice and theory. Students at PennDesign seek the critical balance between art and practicality, the why and the how, the left brain and the right.

All the best and good studies!!

Hello Sarah,

I can't recommend enough the School of Design, Art, Architecture, and Planning (DAAP) at The University of Cincinnati. It's a fantastic place to explore and grow your design skills.

My own journey was through their design program, specifically focusing on graphic communication design. One of the best things about this program is that regardless of the design path you pick (be it graphic, digital, interior, fashion, and so on), everyone starts with the same "foundations" year. This initial year introduces you to the core elements of design, like form, shape, and space. I found this foundational year to be incredibly valuable, as it allowed me to truly grasp the essence of design.

Another highlight of the program for me was the co-ops. These are mandatory parts of the curriculum, and I believe they played a huge role in helping me land my first job. The hands-on, real-world experience you gain from these co-ops is invaluable. Plus, you'll graduate with professional experience already on your resume.

If you're interested in learning more, here's a link to their website: https://daap.uc.edu/

Wishing you all the best on your journey!
