Interior Design
Interior design is an ideal academic home for energetic and inquisitive students seeking a meaningful, varied and creative profession. For each new problem encountered, interior designers use a variety of methods to investigate and analyze user needs and alternatives for satisfying them. Armed with this insight, they enhance interior spaces to maximize occupant quality of life, increase productivity, and protect public health, safety and welfare. The interior designer's ultimate goal is to transform generic, impersonal rooms and areas into unique, expressive spaces that provide the greatest possible "fit" with the values, personalities, roles and potential of their occupants. The Department of Interior Design was established in 2012. Previously, the Interior Design Program was in the Department of Art and Design.

Abstract
There is a rise in stress in the modern world and therefore a rise in anxiety and depression. We evolved in nature but as we further evolve so does technology that is taking over our lives. Using nature in interior design can give us a link back to nature and a bridge back to better psychological health. Through combining research and studies that focus on the effects of nature, natural light, vistas, plants, smells, sound as well as color texture and finishes we can have a positive and lasing effect on individuals in the home suffering from anxiety and depression as well as other mental illnesses.
