PREFACE:

A professional career in Interior Design and Interior Architecture is more challenging today than ever. It combines the creative, the aesthetic, the innovative, and the practical to create the important stages upon which people live their lives.

 It is a rewarding career, and the UC Berkeley Extension Certificate Program in Interior Design and Interior Architecture, founded in 1984, provides a great opportunity to enter the field. 

This program is widely recognized as one of the best in the nation. Since its first accreditation in 1994 by the Foundation for Interior Design Education Research (FIDER), the program has continued to maintain the highest standards for its curriculum, instructors, and students.

 In 2004 FIDER renewed our accreditation for the maximum allowable time period of six years, recognizing that the program meets the highest standards of the profession.

Interior design is an art. It is not a fine art. It cannot luxuriate in its independence as can painting and sculpture, forming itself without regard to any but aesthetic demands. 

It is, instead, a hard-working art, with serious and sometimes mundane problems to solve. … Interior design is also a craft. Technique and experience count a lot in this field, just as they do in the finest of fine arts.

The professional interior designer is qualified by education, experience, and examination to enhance the function and quality of interior spaces for the purpose of improving the quality of life, increasing productivity, and protecting the health, safety, and welfare of the public.
