| INTERIOR DESIGN
Associate in Applied Science Degree LO
Purpose: The Interior Design program prepares students to become
assistant designers or interior design technicians. The curriculum
provides a foundation education covering a broad range of topics
in interior design, art history, furniture history, and basic
design. Computer-aided drafting, rendering and business practices
round out the curriculum. Students become knowledgeable in both
residential and contract design. Career opportunities exist not
only in the retail marketing of furniture, fabrics, and accessories
but also in commercial design firms as space planners, drafters,
and technical support staff.
The curriculum can be completed in two years; however, students
may enroll on a part-time basis. There are no entry requirements
but many IDS courses have prerequisites to insure that students
are properly prepared for advanced course work.
