What are the best colleges in the country for interior design?

I am a junior in high school and I am interested in pursuing interior design. I live in New York, so I am close to New York City. I am curious as to what the most prestigious colleges are for interior design in the U.S. but I am most interested in the New York City area. Thanks!
