Interior Design - Kitchen & Bath Design Diploma

From function to fixtures and business to beauty, VCC's Kitchen and Bath program focuses on the highly specialized design of these two central rooms in any home. Students learn design theory, construction basics, sustainable practices, new and emerging products and systems, and the business of kitchen and bath. The National Kitchen & Bath Association has accredited our program and encourages our students through student chapters, competitions and scholarships. Our 11-month part-time program accepts 15 to 20 students for a September start. Entry into the Diploma program is possible only after the successful completion of the Certificate in Interior Design (or equivalent.) In addition, a work placement during the third semester provides valuable and practical design experience.
