All students in the first-year undergraduate programs of the College of Architecture, Planning, and Design are enrolled in the Environmental Design Studies Program. In the first year, students are introduced to the knowledge, concepts, attitudes, methods, and skills common to the environmental design professions of architecture, interior architecture, interior design, landscape architecture and regional and community planning. After successful completion of these course requirements, students continue their studies in one of the professional curricula in the degree-granting departments.
Courses in the Environmental Design Studies curriculum which carry a DSFN designator are offered in a joint venture for students in the design programs from two KSU colleges:
The three DSFN-designated courses form part of a common foundation of the environmental design fields.
Participation in environmental design studies courses, together with a close working relationship with faculty and an academic advisor, helps students make informed career choices within, and sometimes outside, the fields of study represented.
