B.A. Interior Design
It is the mission of the Interior Design program to provide students the opportunity to participate in the design, development and implementation of creative and technical solutions for a variety of interior environments in which all people exist and function.
The program offers coursework that synthesizes design history and theory, structural and technical systems, legal, ethical, and economic frameworks for professional practice along with the social, cultural and environmental context of the built environment.
Students will deal with Interior Design in the context of the architectural and engineering environments in which their anticipated projects reside.
The program prepares students to fully utilize 21st century technology, specifically information technology and digital media, in the process and products of Interior Design.
An additional and critical goal of the program is the preparation of students to work in maintaining the health, safety and welfare of the public by understanding and adhering to building and life safety codes, having an awareness of ergonomics, universal design, and ADA requirements, and becoming knowledgeable about environmentally responsible building practices and materials. And, as designers, we want everything to look good.

Admission Requirement / Eligibility Criteria
All students who apply to NJIT must submit an official high school transcript in English. When evaluating your application for undergraduate admission, we are interested in understanding how you challenged yourself relative to the curriculum that was available at your school and the trends in your performance—for example, if your grades improved between freshman and senior year.
We also consider the GPA that is indicated on your high school transcript. We look for students in the top 25 percent of their class. For schools that don't use a ranking system, we consider a 3.0 GPA or higher to be equivalent.
Partaking in rigorous curricula, such as Advanced Placement (AP) or International Baccalaureate (IB) classes, can give you an additional advantage. The number of semester credits you will receive will depend on whether you got a 3, 4, or 5 on your AP exams, or a grade of 5, 6, or 7 in IB subject areas. That score also determines which courses you will be excused from taking at NJIT.
Standardized Test Scores
All freshman applicants must take the SAT and/or the ACT, as they provide helpful standardized context for your application compared to our overall applicant pool. However, be assured that test scores are only one part of our application review.
Effective as of January 2017, NJIT will accept the redesigned SAT scores for admission and scholarship purposes. Applicants may submit scores from either the old or new SAT.
Average composite SAT score for our enrolling freshmen is 1285 (2 part - Math and Critical Reading).
Average ACT score for our enrolling freshmen is 26.
Submitting Scores
We will consider either the new or old SAT or ACT and use the highest scores provided, even if they are not from your most recent testing. You may self-report standardized test scores on your application as a temporary placeholder for official scores, allowing us to get a head start on a review of your file.
We recommend you send us all of your official scores as soon as possible, or no later than the time you test, to avoid missing a deadline.
