The four-year Interior Design degree provides student’s academic preparation for employment in the design-build industry.
Students develop skills in professional practice and sales, Auto CAD, Revit Architecture, drafting, sketching, rendering, space planning, specification of materials, building codes, history and theory. Drafting and technical skills are essential to the program of study.
In addition to classroom projects, students participate in various community service projects, interdisciplinary design charrettes, attend field trips, and participate locally in professional organizations such as ASID, IIDA and NKBA.
Students graduating with the Interior Design degree meet guidelines for the practice of residential and commercial interior design, are academically prepared to sit for the CKD (Certified Kitchen Design) exam, gain membership in professional organizations, become licensed, and after two years of experience in the field sit for the NCIDQ (National Council for Interior Design Qualification) exam. The Interior Design is accredited by the Council for Interior Design Accreditation (CIDA) and is endorsed by the National Kitchen and Bath Association (NKBA).
Because the practice of interior design is complex, technical, and demanding, this program provides students with the technical skills, design and sales skills necessary to compete in the profession.
