  • Develop a strong foundation in sustainable and eco-friendly residential design applying color theory and design concepts
  • Draft by hand and with tools such as AutoCAD and SketchUp while also integrating a comprehensive portfolio

The Interior Design program at Century College has an American Society of Interior Designers (ASID) student chapter and graduates are encouraged to become professional members after completing their AAS degree.
