Overview

Narrative

This program is designed for both full-time and part-time students. We've designed this program for those who already have a college degree or need an accelerated alternative career path in the Interior Design profession. Returning students with previously earned bachelor's degrees find this program especially appealing. By adding your general education credits previously earned to the 24 credit diploma, you're only a few part-time semesters to an AAS degree.

Along with a broad introduction to the field of Interior Design, you will learn the fundamental principles of design and gain both hand and computer graphic skills in our design studio and graphics courses. The program also offers a focus on the popular specialty area of kitchen and bath design. Your learning experience is capped with an upper level interior design studio where you will complete projects under the guidance of professional architects and designers.

Features

Full-time students can complete the program in two twelve-credit semesters offered during the day and in the evening. Part-time students can complete the program in four six-credit semesters all offered at night. It is important for students to become familiar with which courses are Fall offerings and which are Spring offerings so they may complete the program as scheduled.

You can apply all of your specialized diploma courses toward Northampton's AAS in Interior Design. An attractive option many students choose is to complete the Interior Design diploma either full-time or part-time while employed and then enter the associate's degree program during the evening on a part-time basis.
