Interior Design Technology
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.
