Interior & Environmental Design
Parsons' Department of Interior Design and Environmental
Design is the oldest in the United States. It has been a pioneer
in recognizing man's psychological, physical and aesthetic
needs as they apply to the spaces in which he lives and works.
At the beginning of the century this recognition and understanding was exemplified by Frank Alvah Parsons' belief that
art could be expressed in the necessities as well as the luxuries
of life. In recent years the continuation of this approach has led
the interior designer, both student and professional, to a
broader interest in the human condition. Parsons' curriculum
in Interior Design not only deals with the study of residential
and commerical spaces, but integrates the designer's understanding with the broader disciplines of Environmental Design as a whole.

Fashion Design
Fashion Design is the creative understanding of design and
practicality in dress and the ability totranslate this understanding into manufacturing techniques. The fashion designer's
sensitivity to the public demand and the marketplace is basic
to his function in one of America's major industries. Through
the work of the fashion designer and the vast choice made
available by the American fashion industry, we have today a
unique medium for the expression of individuality through
clothes.
