Luckily for you, interior design is a major at many schools. One way to determine if you are picking the correct school and major is to look at the requirements within the curriculum. If the classes that the school and department require you to take, align with what you are looking for, this may be a match. You could also do a business major and design minor, if you feel that you want the business degree as the primary to use for leverage if you change your career goals later on, or want to work a "gig" job.

Hi Brooke,
Great question. Your freshman year will be full of basic core classes that you will need to pass before you get into your major selection. Use that freshman to build your GPA and talk to the professors/dean in the business and art departments to gain a better understanding of what classes best align with your goals and what will be required of you. Hopefully this helps. It's kind of hard to say what you should choose right now. Have a great freshman year talk with your professors and use their guidance. I'd say the best scenario would be to major in art and minor in business.
Hope this helps.
