Program Description
This program is designed for students wanting to complete a one-year (two semester) Certificate in Kitchen & Bath Design and enter the workforce. Students explore overall kitchen and bath design processes, materials, AutoCAD software skills, and space planning principles. This certificate prepares students for the Associate Kitchen and Bath Designer (AKBD) certification offered through the National Kitchen and Bath Association. Students will complete a four-credit internship working under the direction of the Program Director at a design firm or design-related company in northern Colorado. Career path options include becoming a designer in a kitchen and bath or interior design business setting. Past internships have included Hixon Interiors, Eheart Interior Solutions, Earthwoods, and HighCraft Builders. Successful completion of the Interior Design degree fulfills the education requirement to take the NCIDQ (National Council for Interior Design Qualification) exam to become a professional interior designer. Work experience is needed, so please consult an Advisor.
