Curriculum

The Interior Design curriculum is planned both as professional preparation for those entering the interior design field and as a transfer program for students planning to transfer to a four-year college. Students receive a strong background in color, design principles, furniture construction and design, architectural materials, furniture layout, space planning, business principles, computer aided design, and the historical development of furniture, architecture, art, and decorative arts.

To obtain an Associate’s Degree, students must complete both the major requirements below and the graduation requirements listed on pages 24-25 of the Chaffey College Catalog.
