INTERIOR DESIGN PROGRAM

Interior design is one of the fastest growing professions. Interior designers engage both

public and private spaces. An interior environment serves the needs and requirements of

the users and provides a sense of space for individual and group activity. Our Interior

Design Certificate Program will train and assist you in career advancement, career change

or personal and professional enrichment. Bring the art of decorating into your home or

office. A certificate of completion is awarded to students who successfully complete any one

course, some of which require final projects.

To be eligible for the Interior Design Certificate, students must successfully complete eight

core courses. Space is limited. Please register early.
