Personalized Studies Specialization


This specialization allows the student to construct a personalized major.  It may consist of a broad exposure to all the areas of the discipline or may concentrate on one or two areas of emphasis.

Apparel Studies Emphasis. A minimum of 45 credits is required, at least 50 percent of which must be at the upper-division level. With department chair approval, a limited number of courses from other departments may be included.

The planned course of study must have the signature of both the student and a faculty advisor before submission to the department chair for approval.

Interior Design Emphasis. This emphasis prepares students for professional careers as residential, commercial, hospitality or health care interior designers. In addition, students may choose to specialize in kitchen and bath design (the program is endorsed by the National Kitchen and Bath Association). An individual course of study will be developed for each student with the interior design advisor.
