A.A.S. in Interior Design

Interior designers affect the function and efficiency of projects ranging from major industry to small residences. In the Interior Design program at Gallatin College MSU, students use tools such as manual and computer drafting, space planning and sketching along with a knowledge in construction and materials to bring their ideas to life. After graduation and working in the field, students may be eligible to sit for the NCIDQ Exam, a national certification exam considered as the gold standard in the interior design industry.

The Interior Design program is part of Gallatin College MSU, southwest Montana’s two-year college.
