We live in a world of global human issues, rapidly advancing technologies, and information that changes just as fast as we can consume it. For future interior designers this means that, more than anything else, they must develop skills in critical and creative thinking. An emerging professional who can find and organize information, critically analyze aspects of a problem, and develop creative and practical solutions can excel in design-related fields.
But at the core of it all, design is still people-centered and designers must understand how to relate to people, uncover their needs, and shape the environment to enhance quality of life.
CADS believes in the power of design to shape a better world, and better spaces for people. Hit the ground running when you graduate and keep pace as the profession evolves. Become a design practitioner who is professionally competent, globally aware and socially engaged. Future professionals choose Auburn University Interior Design.
