Wade College's CIDA (Council for Interior Design Accreditation) accredited interior design program transforms students into professionals with the creative and technical skills necessary to design functional and beautiful residential and commercial spaces that contribute to the safety and well-being of inhabitants.

Students learn how to problem solve using the design process by applying interior design principles, elements, theories, history, and methodology to analyze client profiles and project programs. Our program gives students hands-on experience in drafting, space planning, design, and essential industry software such as AutoCAD, Revit, and SketchUp. Studio classes taught by industry professionals challenge students to produce design solutions that emphasize aesthetics, construction, and innovative technology while incorporating a concern for the codes, sustainability, environmental issues, and society at large.

Interior design students can start gaining valuable experience while studying by enrolling in field experience courses, taking advantage of internship opportunities, and participating in industry trade shows at the Dallas Market Center.
