The problem with which this study is concerned is that
of identifying new developments in interior design education
which may have resulted from curriculum reevaluations. The
data gathering instrument was a questionnaire which was
mailed to eighty-eight institutions offering interior design
education in the United States. Thirty-eight replies were
received, and thirty-two are used in this study.
The thesis consists of six chapters and appendices. The
first chapter introduces the problem, describes the background
of the study, and presents limitations imposed on the study.
The second chapter gives institutional and curricular statis-

information and causes for the reevaluations. Curriculum
changes that followed reevaluations and the causes for changes
are described in Chapter IV. Chapter V contains respondents'
comments. A summary of findings, conclusions, and recommen-
