The Corcoran's Interior Architecture (IA) Program provides a distinctive chance for students to explore, develop, and innovate within a vibrant academic setting at a leading research institution. As the sole CIDA-accredited program in Washington, D.C., and among just ten interior design programs at top-tier national research universities (ranked in U.S. News and World Report's top 63), our program stands out. Recognized by House Beautiful Magazine as one of the nation's premier Interior Architecture programs, we also hold the #5 spot on collegerank.net's Best Bachelors in Interior Design list.
We cultivate an environment that sparks imagination and challenges design conventions, focusing on conceptual development and creative processes. Our studio-centered approach forms the foundation of the program, teaching students to craft immersive spaces using progressive ideas, advanced materials, and groundbreaking methodologies.
