Additional Expenses Interior design Education is relatively expensive, and because of the individual nature of the creative laboratory work, it is impossible to predict the exact cost for each student. The program provides the faculty, studios, and as many other facilities as possible, but all other costs including supplies, equipment, and required field trips that are necessary for the successful completion of the program are borne by the student. While attending SIUC, students have the opportunity to be members of profession-related student organizations.
