Currently all Interior Design students are required to take AutoCad 2000. The Interior Design department has recently renovated its studio. Each student has a work station consisting of a full size drafting table and a PC with internet access, AutoCad and various other design related software. The combination of young students and returning adult students makes for a unique blend of talent and experience in the classroom setting. SLCC-Meramec has an excellent Interior Design Resource Library with thousands of residential and commercial manufacturer's catalogs and samples.
Students have many opportunities for hands-on design problems and community service projects.
SLCC Meramec has an American Society of Interior Designers Student Chapter and an IIDA Chapter. Current students and graduates have established an excellent network for internships as well as full and part-time job opprotunities in the field. The typical full-time course load ranges from 15 to 18 credit hours per semester. Classes are re-evaluated periodically and course requirements change, so the listing below is just a sample program.
