BS in Interior Design

The interior design major is accredited by the council for Interior Design Accreditation, the National Association of Schools of Art and Design (NASAD), and the National Kitchen and Bath Association (NKBA).

To declare the interior design major, students must have a C or higher in IDSN 1180, 1181, 1281, 1500, 2800; ART 1905; and have a cumulative GPA of at least 2.5. Admission into professional-level courses requires being declared into the major and an acceptable level of proficiency in studio work as shown in the sophomore portfolio review.

Sophomore Portfolio Review: During the sophomore year, students submit portfolios which contain representative work from: IDSN 1181, 1281, 1500, and 2800. This work is evaluated by the interior design faculty, who recommend whether students are prepared to enter the professional-level interior design courses. Students who do not meet the level of proficiency needed for the professional-level courses have the opportunity to resubmit a portfolio a maximum of two additional times. Meeting the minimum standards does not guarantee entry into the professional level. Admission to professional-level courses is competitive and limited.

Neuroscience Studies

Minor

 

The neuroscience minor is designed to provide students with an introduction to the study of neuroscience at the various

structural and functional levels of analysis, including molecular, cellular, integrative, and behavioral. (Students interested in a

neuroscience major should see multidisciplinary studies, described above, and contact the neuroscience program director.)

The minor requires completion of core courses (20 s.h), a laboratory course (2 or 3 s.h), and an elective course (2-5 s.h.). In

the event that courses required for the minor are also required for the student’s major, neuroscience elective courses should

be taken so that a minimum of 24 s.h. of unique neuroscience courses are completed for the minor. The major advisor should

send a potential minor to the director for advising. The minimum requirements for the minor are 24 s.h. as follows:

COASTAL AND MARINE STUDIES

 

Bob Edwards, Director, A-413 Brewster Building

The coastal and marine studies minor requires a minimum of 24 s.h. and is designed to provide students with an overview

of coastal and marine resources. Considerable attention is devoted to the biological, physical, social, and historical aspects

of coastal and marine resources. Whenever possible, information from North Carolina and other US coastal and marine

environments is used to illustrate or emphasize important concepts. A maximum of 6 s.h. may be used to satisfy foundations

curriculum requirements and requirements for the coastal and marine studies minor. A course may not count toward the

student’s major and the coastal and marine studies minor.

NORTH CAROLINA STUDIES

 

E. Thomson Shields, Director, 2112 Bate Building

The minor in North Carolina studies is an interdisciplinary program that requires 24 s.h. credit. The minor provides students

with a comprehensive natural and cultural history of North Carolina and a knowledge of the contemporary conditions and

issues that history has created. The program requires an introductory course, a senior research seminar, a series of core

courses, and electives drawn from the following disciplines: anthropology, biology, English, geography, geology, history, and

political science. Courses taken to meet foundations curriculum requirements cannot be used to satisfy the requirements of

the North Carolina studies minor. The student’s minor program must be approved by the director of the North Carolina

studies program.
