The Interior Design program at Virginia Tech has consistently been recognized as a top interior design program since the early 2000s. We invite applications to join our team as a tenure-track Assistant Professor effective August 2024. The program is part of the new School of Design, one of the four schools in the newly formed College of Architecture, Arts, and Design (AAD). The School of Design includes undergraduate and graduate programs in industrial design, interior design, and landscape architecture and includes over 20 full-time faculty and staff. The Program of Interior Design currently has 9 full and part time faculty and roughly 160 undergraduate interior design majors.
