Interior Design Option

The Architecture and Interior Design Department’s Interior Design OptionPDF has been created to address two main educational goals: to prepare those who wish to transfer, and to prepare those who wish to go into the workforce and start their career. Frequently, our students do both. Students are prepared to enter the interior design profession, or one of the many related design careers. We are also very proud to offer a unique Advanced Interior Design CertificatePDF that is based on completing the AAS degree. An active and award winning ASID club allows students to broaden their educational experiences and network with the profession.

Students may also transfer to one of the many schools with which we have developed an agreement. All transfers are dependant on a review of a student’s portfolio, so students are encouraged to keep all their drawings and assignments (even schematic sketches) for later use in their portfolios. Firms also review portfolios as part of the interview process.
