The Bachelor of Interior Design curriculum at LSU is accredited by the Foundation for Interior Design Education Research (FIDER). Interior design involves shaping, planning, and furnishing interior spaces ranging in scale from single family residences to large commercial and institutional projects. Designers work with architects, developers, or private clients to create distinctive spaces that enhance the quality of life, increase productivity, and protect the health, safety and welfare of the public. Specific requirements addressing education, practical experience, and professional examination regulate the practice of interior design in Louisiana and many other states. Opportunity exists within the profession to focus on specializations such as lighting, furniture and exhibition design, historic restoration, and set design.]

Within the curriculum, creative problem solving, research and analysis, and graphic skills are emphasized, supporting activities in the design studios which form the core of the educational experience. Complementing this strong emphasis on design are liberal arts, technical, business, and communication course requirements. A required internship offers additional preparation and insight into the profession. Interdisciplinary work with other disciplines in the College of Art & Design is encouraged.]
