| INTERIOR DESIGN |
|
The Regional Interior Design program at Orange Coast College is a multi-level program offering a certificate in Interior Merchandising (Level 1), an Associate in Science degree (Level 2), and a Professional (Level 3). Students completing Level 1 are employed in retail furnishings and merchandising. Level 2 Interior Design Assistants assist interior design practitioners through illustration, selection and specification of furnishings and materials, as well as drafting and merchandising. Level 3 prepares students to practice as full professional interior designers. Level 2 students must complete the A.S. Degree, and Level 3 students must complete the requirements for a bachelor’s degree. This program replaces all previous interior design programs.
Developed by educators and professional interior designers, this program offers an interdisciplinary approach to fundamental design, space planning, design analysis, and materials selection and specifications relating to residential and commercial spaces.
Orange Coast College participates in a Regional Interior Design Consortium with Saddleback College and Fullerton College. All required interior design courses are articulated with these schools, and students may take interior design courses at any of the colleges in the consortium.
