A strong creative vision and an ability to bring ideas to life are hallmarks of the field of interior design. Student designers are tasked with creating visually stimulating and workable spaces in commercial or residential settings that adhere to industry standards and government regulations.

In order to improve job prospects and learn more specialized information, many students decide to earn an undergraduate degree, such as a Bachelor of Arts. Certain schools allow students to earn a BA on a flexible schedule through online or part-time programs.

Part-time learning allows one to obtain a degree or qualification even if one cannot attend school on a full-time basis. One can learn at one's own pace, gradually accumulating credits that count towards a final qualification.
