The four-year Interior Design - Technical Sales degree provides students academic preparation for employment in, kitchen & bath design, residential and commercial design and as product representatives for architects and interior designers.
Students develop skills in sales, business practices, CAD, drafting, sketching, rendering, space planning, specification of materials, as well as history and theory. Art and drafting are essential to the program of study.
In addition to classroom projects, students participate in various community projects, attend field trips, and participate locally in professional organizations such as ASID, IIDA and NKBA.
Students graduating with the Interior Design Technical Sales degree meet guidelines for the practice of residential and commercial interior design, are academically prepared to sit for the CKD (Certified Kitchen Design) exam, gain membership in professional organizations, become licensed, and after two years of experience in the field can sit for the NCIDQ (National Council for Interior Design Qualification) exam. The Interior Design - Technical Sales BS/BA meets all the qualifications for accreditation from the National Kitchen & Bath Association (NKBA).
The practice of interior design has become complex, technical, and demanding, thus graduates have the technical and sales skills to compete in the profession.
All Interior Design students are required to meet with a faculty advisor each semester for course and program advisement. Call 801-626-6913 or 801-626-7920 for more information or to schedule an appointment. (Also refer to the Department Advisor Referral List.)
