The Interior Design Certificate Program is designed to provide a basic understanding of the skills required to enter the field of interior design in support positions assisting designers, as well as for other management and support positions in interior design offices or related industries.

This program equips students with the skills and knowledge to enter this rewarding field. Certificate candidates learn to create and implement all phases of a design, including space planning, selection of furniture and finishes, and preparation of drawings. Candidates also learn about preparing cost estimates and business documents and collaborating with members of related professions. The scope and sequence of the program’s courses allow students to address structural and space planning issues, design principles, visual communication skills and business practices through instruction and hands-on experience. 

The courses offered in the Interior Design Certificate Program may be taken individually without enrolling in the program. This program is designed for two purposes; for those seeking the basic knowledge and skills required for an entry level position in the field of interior design, whether or not they are currently employed in the field; or those who are currently employed and are seeking knowledge in interior decorating for their own use or considering a change of career.
