Arts & Design Technology: Interior Design
The career studies program in Interior Design provides a basic foundation in visual presentation skills, spatial design, color coordination, the evolution of furniture and interior styles, and estimation. All courses count toward the associate’s degree. The Associate of Applied Science (A.A.S.) degree adds general education courses to the basic career studies courses. Students can customize the program with their choice of interior design electives.
The career studies program prepares the student for employment as a color consultant or sales associate in retail interior design. Graduates with the A.A.S. degree find positions in visual merchandising, floor coverings, decorative accessories, and home furnishings. They work for architectural firms, commercial designers, retailers, or open their own design firms.
