Master some of the fundamental skills you’ll need to be a practicing interior designer in both residential and commercial design settings in just two years. The Associate in Applied Science (AAS) in Interior Design emphasizes core studies in a range of residential and commercial design studio courses, technology, and graphic communications, as well as courses in the history of architecture and the decorative arts.

The program fulfills the minimum of two years of college-level interior design education that is required along with the requisite work experience to be eligible to become a certified interior designer in many states.
The program can be completed on a full-time or part-time basis
Courses are offered on-site and online
Two studio courses focus on residential design, one on contract design
Required credits can be applied toward the BFA program
ASSOCIATE IN APPLIED SCIENCE (AAS) IN INTERIOR DESIGN ONLINE The Associate in Applied Science (AAS) in Interior Design online provides the same rigorous education that we offer on campus, but with greater flexibility. NYSID instructors teach every course and the curriculum and learning goals are the same as the on-site courses. You can study on your own time and at your own pace—watch recorded lectures and demonstrations, participate in active discussions with fellow students and the instructor, and access handouts and assignments whenever it is convenient for you. Students matriculated in the on-site AAS (with the exception of international students) may take up to 26 credits in the online format; students matriculated in the online AAS may take up to 26 credits in on-site courses.
