Kitchen & Bath Design
Associate of Science Degree online program
You’ve always had an ability to appreciate residential interiors. You understand the importance of design and style as well as the functionality and practicality of a living space. You easily envision how one space can have many uses…how a kitchen can be used as both a cooking area and gathering spot, and how a bath can become a dressing area—or even a luxurious retreat.
Kitchens and baths are the most utilized rooms in any house, and are potentially the most multi-dimensional. Professionals in this field can transform a typical home kitchen into a culinary space worthy of a professional that is stylish and welcoming to be the centerpiece of any social occasion. Kitchen and Bath Designers can create a bath area that is both a functional space as well as a soothing, spa-worthy environment.
Want to specialize in a fast-growing industry and put your passions to work where you apply your skills in both space planning and aesthetics? Rise to the challenge in our Kitchen & Bath Design associate’s degree program.
Gain Hands-On Design Skills

Move on to courses that provide practical expertise based on The National Kitchen and Bath Association’s guidelines.
