The Interior Design program combines a study of the creative process with the practical requirements of materials, space planning, and building codes. Emphasis is placed upon using a variety of tools, including drawings and computer processes, to explore and communicate the solutions to design problems. Projects addressing both residential and commercial needs are incorporated into the program to provide a broad understanding of the field of interior design.

Admission and continuation in the interior design program is conditional upon completion of the following requirements:

A) A grade of C or better in High School Geometry or Math A exam.

B) Completion of required ESOL or Transitional Studies courses.

In addition, an understanding of the use of computers is expected. Those students who do not have such knowledge are encouraged to complete AAD 104 - Intro to Graphic Design, 2D prior to enrolling in IDE160- CAD for Interiors.
