Classical design elements are consistently influential in his design process. Mitchell impressed this year's jury with his detailed portfolio and commitment to an understanding of classical design. As this year’s recipient, he will receive a $12,000 scholarship! You can view Mitchell’s winning portfolio.

USU Interior Architecture & Design is currently ranked 8th in the top 20 Interior Design Schools

A career in interior design can be a fruitful one. Fulfilling those goals, however, will mean getting an education that can make that happen. Among the many considerations that should be considered when choosing a school for interior design, two are among the most important. One of those factors, tuition, is essentially universal for nearly everyone. Another important factor is the graduation rate because accomplishing those goals begins with finishing your degree.
