With no entry requirements, this non-credit online certificate allows students to learn with motivated peers to develop their portfolio, broaden existing skills or explore a new career path.

Courses address the creative and business aspects of interior design that are foundational to success in this field. Students explore how color, texture, light and the inherent characteristics of materials interact with functional and structural concerns of space planning to develop a coherent language of design. They will become well-versed in each stage of planning, creating or updating the home environment across areas such as kitchens, bathrooms and indoor/outdoor spaces. This program addresses the importance of collaboration, communication, critical thought, ethics and project management.
