General information on interiors
courses for fall 2009:
Each JCCC student is assigned a JCCC email address. Faculty will use
this account to provide class information and IDSA will use this email address
to provide you with the most current activities and opportunities available. You
can easily roll the account into your current personal email so you don’t have
to have yet another account to check. Please do this if you haven’t already done
so. For your privacy JCCC listserve messages will only be sent to your JCCC
student email account.
Please visit the interiors
website at http://web.jccc.net/interiordesign/
regularly. Click on
departments and go to Interior Design. A current calendar of events is available
along with much department and IDSA information that may be able to provide
answers for some of your questions.
Courses for each of the
certificates and associate degrees are listed by semester in the college
catalog, web site, and program brochure.
The courses are listed in order of recommended sequence.
While we understand your personal schedule
plays a role in your choice of courses each semester, so does the sequence you
take courses. While not every course
has a pre-requisite, certain skills are learned that will be valuable to you if
learned and used sequentially during your course of study.
As an example, your selections of fabrics for projects in Design
Presentation are enhanced by your knowledge of interior textiles- your knowledge
allows you to choose appropriate fabrics, not just pretty fabrics.

To graduate in four (4)
semesters:
ITMD 121 and DRAF 164 must be taken in
