Interior Design, Associate of Applied Science

Interior Design involves the understanding of a created environment and its relationship to people. In short, it’s the creation of space in which people work, live and play. The goal of the program is to encourage the student to conceptualize and create successful design solutions for a wide range of clients and design problems.

The Interior Design program, which includes courses offered at RVCC’s instructional site in Bridgewater (RVCC@Bridgewater), covers both the residential and commercial facets of interior design.

• display a professional manner and image

• recognize and respect culture diversity
• make meaningful connections between disciplines
