INTERIOR DESIGN

The Associate in Applied Science curriculum (AAS) prepares students to work in an entry-level interior design position. The curriculum provides both general education and specific interior design content classes including basic design, color theory and application, architectural and furniture history, drafting, space planning, interior materials, rendering, and business procedures. Studio projects allow students to identify research, solve, and present residential design problems. An integral part of the program is a design internship, which provides on-the-job experience under the supervision of a professional interior designer.
