Interior Design
The Interior Design program provides a comprehensive foundation of study, emphasizing the development of theoretical, practical and technical skills within the interior environment. A multi-disciplined approach to the Interior Design curriculum is offered and made available through instruction in Art Foundations, Interior Design and Architecture.
This specialization is developed and formed utilizing sequential courses with specific course work in environmental psychology, architectural and interior construction materials and components, lighting and environmental systems and a range of studio classes. The environmental systems course group will focus on building codes, sustainability, and energy conservation. Graphic, oral and written communication and presentation skills will be evaluated and enhanced. Computer applications are employed and utilized across the core courses to assist students in developing a broad range of computer skills including Computer Aided Design (CAD).
Students who enroll and successfully complete all requisite courses earn an Associate in Arts Degree, and are equipped to seek entry-level positions in the field of Interior Design and related disciplines or to transfer to a four-year program. Many of the core interior design courses will transfer to Eastern Michigan University, Lawrence Technological University and the Art Institute of Michigan. Prospective Interior Design majors should meet with the Interior Design Program Coordinator to discuss their program and sequence of study in that introductory courses may be offered in the Winter Semester as well as Fall. Call the Interior Design Program Coordinator at 313-845-9814 or send an email to kawilmering@hfcc.edu and schedule an appointment.
