Associate of Science - Interior Design (INTR)
The interior design curriculum is a two-year associate degree program. Employing faculty from the areas of interior design, architecture, and construction and using the latest technology, it provides students with the skills to work as interior design assistants and be able to sit for the National Council for Interior Design Qualification (NCIDQ) exam after four years of work experience.
The emphasis is on technical knowledge, methodology, and aesthetic appreciation of interior design for the health, safety, and welfare of the public; equipping students with visual presentation and communication skills; imparting an awareness for environmental, business, ethical, and other contemporary issues; and linking classroom knowledge to application in the field.
Graduates typically find employment in residential and commercial design, as interior design assistants to interior design and architectural firms, sales associates in retail or manufacturing settings, manufacturer’s reps for products used in the design and construction industries, CAD technicians for interior design, or as self-employed designers.
