Minor: Interior-Design
Alicia Henry, M.F.A., Coordinator
Fisk University through a collaborative agreement with Belmont University (formerly Watkins College of Art, Design & Film) offers Fisk students enrolled in undergraduate degree programs the possibility to earn a minor in interior design at Belmont University. Participating students must be in good standing in a baccalaureate degree program at Fisk University, and must submit an application to enroll in the minor in interior design program. Students do not have to apply for admission to, or register at Belmont University.
To enroll in the minor of interior design, students must have completed CORE 150 – Composition I and ART 101 – Life Drawing and Composition (or their equivalent, as determined by Fisk University) with grades of “C” or better. These courses will be accepted as equivalent to the Belmont University (formerly Watkins College of Art, Design & Film) courses ENG 101 – English Composition I and ART 111 – Drawing I, respectively, for the purpose of satisfying the course prerequisite requirements for the interior design courses included in the minor program of study.
Requirements
Interior Design Requirements
To successfully complete the minor in interior design, students must earn a grade of C or better in the following Watkins College of Art, Design & Film courses:
Academic credit of three semester hours will be awarded for successful completion of each course. Students completing the minor will have earned eighteen semester hours to apply toward completion of their undergraduate degree program at Fisk University. Completion of the minor is not intended to provide any credentials in interior design, nor will it qualify a student as eligible to apply for certification examinations. At the end of the program, the Registrar of Watkins College of Art, Design & Film will transmit the proper documentation to the Registrar at Fisk University so that the academic credit can be properly added to the student’s transcript record. While taking classes at Watkins College of Art, Design & Film, Fisk University students are responsible for understanding and complying with the policies and procedures described in the Watkins College of Art, Design & Film Student Handbook. A copy of this document is available to Fisk students upon registration into the concentration and in the Office of the Registrar at both institutions.
Total Credit Hours: 18
