This 63-65 credit-hour
program is designed for students interested in careers in the furnishing
and design industry. The program offers creative, artistic and challenging
career opportunities. Graduates are trained to work as kitchen and bath
designers, retail designers/salespersons, interior design assistants,
assistant buyers of home furnishings, manufacturers’ representatives
or Merchandise Mart showroom managers.
Students may elect to concentrate their study in residential, contract
design or kitchen and bath design. They may elect courses in computer
aided design (CAD), sales or merchandising. Those wishing to work in the
kitchen and bath and contract design fields are advised to elect CAD courses
and should consult with an advisor. Periodic field trips are required
and will help students learn about current design trends.
The associate in applied science degree in Interior Design is accredited

by the National Kitchen and Bath Association (NKBA). In addition, the
curriculum provides an overview of topics tested by the National Council
