The Creative Arts Scholarship Program is for first-time, out-of-state graduate and undergraduate students, including international and transfer students. Applicants must be accepted to ETSU before they will be considered for a Creative Arts Scholarship.
Interior Architecture at ETSU invites you to join a dedicated group of students who are thinking globally, actively
engaging in dynamic design processes, and creating imaginative solutions which promote
the awareness and knowledge of the contributions of interior architecture to health,
safety, and the welfare of people in a sustainable built environment. Graduates aspire
to be active lifelong problem solvers, seeking to adapt current knowledge and emerging
trends to meet the demands of a future marketplace.
Interior architecture is a multi-faceted profession in which creative and technical solutions are applied within a structure to achieve a built interior environment. These solutions are functional, enhance the quality of life and culture of the occupants, and are aesthetically attractive. Designs are created in response to and coordinated with the building shell and acknowledge the physical location and social context of the project. Designs must adhere to code and regulatory requirements and encourage the principles of environmental sustainability. The design process follows a systematic and coordinated methodology, including research, analysis and integration of knowledge into the creative process, whereby the needs and resources of the client are satisfied to produce an interior space that fulfills the project goals. Interior architecture includes a scope of services performed by a professional design practitioner, qualified by means of education, experience and examination, to protect and enhance the health, life safety and welfare of the public.
New Interior Architecture out-of-state students (freshmen, transfers, and international students) will be eligible for the ETSU Creative Arts Scholarship.

The scholarship award may vary from term to term depending on the number of credit hours for which a student is registered and is renewable for eight (8) semesters.
