Interior Design
As an Interior Design major at Meredith you will gain a strong foundation of knowledge and skills for a career in the interior design field. Meredith is the only school in the Triangle area to hold Council for Interior Design Accreditation (CIDA) accreditation.
Interior design studios offer opportunities to work on residential or commercial projects. These studios are supported with lecture classes in areas such as lighting, interior design materials, and professional practice. You will also develop strong technology skills used in the industry today.
Martha Burpitt explains how interior design works.
At Meredith, interior design major Erykah Harris, ‘21, learned to advantage of the experiential opportunities that came her way. After she graduated, her internship turned into a full-time job.
Leia Davis, ’19, graduated from Meredith with a degree in Interior Design, and is now a Visual Space Planner at Lowe’s Headquarters near Charlotte, N.C.
When Helina Biru, ’18, arrived on the Meredith College campus in 2014 from Ethiopia, she couldn’t anticipate just how much she would achieve in four years.
