The second is to aid students in their development of the skills needed to create or remodel a bath into a stunning work of interior design art that is both aesthetically pleasing, yet functional.
This is a rapidly-developing industry, and individuals who earn their associate in kitchen and bath design degree are able to meet and surpass the challenges of creating a balance between space planning and aesthetics.
