Degree:

Certificate:

A comprehensive curriculum leads to a two-year associate of applied science degree. Students interested in a less comprehensive program should consider the one-year Home Decorating Certificate program.

The interior design associate of applied science degree program covers both classroom instruction and hands-on experience dealing with typical residential and commercial design problems. The well-stocked labs are equipped with computers, drafting tables, a blue-line machine, and a comprehensive resource library containing catalogues and samples for student projects. All courses in the Interior Design curriculum have been fully endorsed by the National Kitchen and Bath Association.

The internship program allows students to work with prominent designers throughout the greater Houston area. The program has a very active student chapter of ASID (American Society of Interior Designers), which works closely with the professional ASID membership.

The general education core will transfer to a variety of colleges and universities. Contact a counselor, or faculty member at any of the colleges for specific information and to obtain the recommended sequencing of courses.
