Interior Design

In order to get the most out of a room, interior designers use creativity, functionality and analyzation. From the kitchen to the bathroom, to an office or home, each space functions differently and requires unique furniture, decorations, colors and electronics to bring out the best for its intended use.

The Associate in Applied Science program at Harper College is endorsed by the National Kitchen and Bath Association. Course topics are based on the National Council for Interior Design Qualification (NCIDQ) exam that is required to be a licensed Interior Designer in Illinois.

Through the guidance of experienced faculty as well as hands-on learning with AutoCAD/CAD Studio and field trips, you will be thoroughly prepared for a career in the interior design industry by studying at Harper.
