The Interior Design and Decorating Associate's Degree is designed to prepare students for careers in interior decorating and design. The
professional interior designer is qualified by education, experience and examination to enhance the function and
quality of interior spaces for the purpose of improving the quality of life, increasing productivity and protecting
the health, safety and welfare of the public. The two-year program provides students with the technical information and design skills necessary to work as interior design assistants and to begin their pursuit of a successful career in either residential or commercial design. Upon successful completion of the program, the student should be able to perform the basic skills necessary to work in interior design, analyze client's needs, goals, and life safety requirements, coordinate a successful job search, and adapt to the ever-changing world of interior design.
