About the Interior Design Program in the Department of Family and Consumer Sciences:


The Seattle Pacific University Department of Family and Consumer Sciences prepares students to address problems faced by individuals, families, and communities globally that involve food, clothing, and shelter through Christ-centered values of love, integrity, and justice. The Family and Consumer Sciences majors include Apparel Design and Merchandising, Food and Nutritional Sciences, Interior Design, Human Development and Family Studies, and FCS Secondary Education.


SPU's Bachelor of Arts degree in Interior Design is a rigorous academic program that educates and trains graduates to contribute to their communities by successfully entering the industry in a broad range of positions, to sit for the National Council for Interior Design Qualification (NCIDQ) exam if desired, and to progress in their field. They emerge as much more than skilled pre-professionals. They have a reputation in the region for shining as quality individuals above and beyond standard qualifications who have both developed a strong work ethics and who value first and foremost the service and stewardship aspects of their profession.
