To apply, all students of RID+I must complete a two-step application process.
Step 1: APPLY TO WMU
Step 2: APPLY TO RID+I
Product Design (PD) majors submit a portfolio for initial acceptance into the program. Applications are submitted through SlideRoom. Select the BFA in Product Design option to review the portfolio application requirements.
For Interior Architecture and Design (IAD) majors, all students begin as pre-majors and complete a portfolio review application upon the conclusion of the second IAD curriculum year. Submission details for the second-year portfolio review can be found on SlideRoom during the application window. Select the BS in Interior Architecture and Design option to review the portfolio application requirements during the application window.
Faculty member and academic advisor Annemarie Bates can answer any questions about RID+I’s application processes.
Our intent at RID+I is to make the application process approachable and accessible; please feel free to inquire about any questions related to the application process of our programs.
