Certificate in Interior Decorating
This program is designed for students interested in the field of residential interior design, but not in the technical aspects of construction and structure. Students pursuing this certificate will develop good decorating skills, but are not required to study technical drafting techniques or develop a portfolio. However, students will need some basic knowledge of drafting and use of the scale rule since decorators must be able to create an accurate floor plan. Therefore, basic drafting equipment is required. Students may elect to take Drawing and Presentation for non-credit prior to Interior Design I and Color. Courses offered are non-credit only and can be taken in any sequence. Students are encouraged to sign up for the guided tour of the D&D building in New York City.
Upon satisfactory completion of the six required courses, students will receive a certificate of completion. Students enrolled in this program will not be eligible for the Residential or Professional Certificates or ASID student membership.
