Graduates with a bachelor’s degree
January 2nd, 2010
In 2008, there were over 150 accredited programs in interior design in the United States; most are part of schools or departments of art, architecture, and home economics. The National Council for Interior Design Accreditation also accredits interior design programs that lead to a bachelor’s or masters degree. The Council for Interior Design Qualification offers the Interior Design Experience Program, which helps entry-level interior designers gain valuable work experience by supervising their work and offering mentoring services to new designers.
Applicants may be required to submit sketches and other examples of their artistic ability. Most of these schools award a degree in interior design. The National Association of interior design bedroom Schools of Art and Design accredits approximately 300 postsecondary institutions with programs in art and design. Graduates with a bachelor’s degree usually qualify for a formal design apprenticeship program. Graduates of 2-year or 3-year programs are awarded certificates or associate degrees in interior design and normally qualify as assistants to interior designers upon graduation.
