Program ObjectivesInterior designers plan, design, and furnish interiors of residential, commercial, and industrial buildings. They formulate designs which are practical, aesthetic, and conducive to such purposes as raising productivity, selling merchandise, or improving lifestyle.

Courses in the interior design program are designed to develop the ability to identify, research, and creatively solve problems relative to interior spaces, including programming, design analysis, and space planning. The students will work with commercial and residential interiors, prepare presentations, and learn business procedures used by interior designers.

Training includes five terms of study in interior design and related courses. Upon completion of the required 66 term hours, the student may file for an associate of applied science degree. Students may continue their study to complete the twelve term hours in the third year of the program and receive the Enhanced Skills Certificate in interior design.
