Award-winning interior designer Trudy Dujardin,Two programs to choose from...
I. Professional Certificate - 45 credits
This program provides a hands-on design experience, plus training that enables students to translate abstract concepts into three-dimensional reality. Students develop the type of portfolio and presentation style that is the mark of a professional. The professional certificate, when taken for credit, satisfies the minimal educational eligibility requirements for NCIDQ certification (four years of full-time work experience is also required) as well as the ASID Allied Membership category. Courses can also be taken as non-credit, but this option will not satisfy NCIDQ eligibility requirements.
II. Residential Certificate - 30 credits
This program provides the same foundation for hands-on design experience and training as the professional certificate, but is geared to the student who wishes to specialize in residential design only and is not interested in certification. Students develop the type of portfolio and presentation style that is the mark of a professional. Students may at any time choose to pursue the professional certificate; however, any courses taken for non-credit will not apply toward National Council for Interior Design Qualification (NCIDQ) certification.
Registration began April 1, 2009 for Summer 2009 courses. Please call Sandy Richardson at (203) 254-4110 for more information.
