Technical development will include architectural drafting; preparation of estimates; design analysis; kitchen, bath, structural, mechanical, and electrical systems; and advanced presentation techniques for interior designers. Completion of requirements for this program will lead to the award of the AAS.
Students may select one of two areas of concentration: (1) the general area of concentration, which allows students to select nine ID professional electives; or (2) the NKBA area of concentration, , which meets the requirements of the National Kitchen and Bath Association accreditation, and requires specific courses instead. A grade of B or better is required in all interior design classes for the NKBA area of concentration, degree. If these conditions are not met, a general area of concentration, degree will be awarded.
