WHAT IS INTERIOR DESIGN?<br />
Cozy and warm, demonstrative and bold. <strong>The</strong>se are just a few<br />
ways to describe the look and feel of a room or office when<br />
designing the right environment for a client. If you’ve always<br />
wanted to express yourself through color, patterns and textures<br />
to create an atmosphere, then the Interior Design program<br />
awaits you.<br />
WHAT WILL I LEARN?<br />
Our associate’s level Interior Design degree program is carefully<br />
balanced to provide a three-dimensional understanding<br />
of space, form, and function. In early courses, students<br />
have the opportunity to learn the basics of drawing, drafting,<br />
color, and design, and the fundamentals of space planning<br />
and perspective. In later quarters, students receive training<br />
in working drawings, detailing, life safety codes, and learn<br />
about textiles and the history of design.<br />
PROGRAM MISSION<br />
<strong>The</strong> mission of the Interior Design programs is to provide<br />
students with relevant skills preparing them for their profession<br />
of choice. Students will be able to conceive and execute<br />
viable and creative design solutions for diverse clients.<br />
