This course is designed for students in their second year of interior design coursework, giving them an opportunity to obtain real-world experience in the interior design and construction industry. Internships and co-op job opportunities are available throughout the community; however, there is no guarantee of internship placement.

Course requirements include a minimum of 60 hours of work per credit, maintenance of a work journal, and a final paper. Open to IND majors only. Prerequisite(s): Approval of department, minimum G.P.A. of 2.5, and sophomore standing.
