Courses

The only course offered at the Design Institute is fittingly an interior design program. That is what the school is all about and they would not have it any other way. This is an undergraduate study that incorporates all aspects of the visual arts including two-dimensional and three-dimensional design, drawing, and color. The students gain an understanding of the history of interior design and the use of furniture, interior architecture, and decorative objects to learn and be able to perform room or whole house designs.

Students at DISD get the training of interior design with the use of shapes, colors and lighting to produce the best product in the interior design field.
