For Academic Credit Courses
If you want to pursue a degree in interior design but are unsure where to start, you can take courses on a non-matriculated basis. You may take up to 12 credits at the undergraduate level as a non-matriculated student, which means you have not yet applied or have not yet been accepted to a program. Courses taken on a non-matriculated basis can be applied to one of our undergraduate programs.
