At Liberty, we’ve built our online interior design degree to support your vision, schedule, and calling while enabling you to stay committed to your top priorities – like your family, job, and community.

In this program, you won’t just memorize styles or trends. You can explore how to design purposeful spaces that reflect your client’s goals and uplift the people who use them. Our AA in Interior Design is crafted to help you see the world through the lens of balance, meaning, and intention. If you’re interested in interior design schools online that provide a Christian foundation, Liberty can help equip you to shape environments that reflect your values.

With flexible online interior design courses and mission-driven faculty, this program offers a fresh and practical path for aspiring decorators, consultants, and design support professionals. You can gain foundational knowledge in space planning, color theory, and design software while developing your creative eye through hands-on assignments. The program is structured to help you balance your studies with other commitments, making it a strong fit for busy professionals and career changers alike.


This online interior design degree offers a carefully curated blend of creative, historical, and technical coursework designed to help you build a solid foundation in both residential and commercial design. From your first class, you can begin developing your understanding of visual principles – like balance, texture, proportion, and spatial flow – and explore how these concepts come together to create spaces that are beautiful and purposeful.

You’ll study the evolution of design from the 20th century to the present and learn how past styles influence today’s trends. As you move through the program, you can also explore digital tools used in the industry – tools that can help you create professional presentation materials, conceptual renderings, and clear visual plans.

This interior design program doesn’t just focus on theory. You’ll have the opportunity to work through real-world design concepts as you explore layout planning, color use, material selection, and client communication. Whether you’re planning cozy living spaces or contemporary office interiors, your coursework can help you think critically, communicate clearly, and creatively approach each design challenge.

By the time you finish your associate degree in interior design, you can be equipped with the artistic insight and practical skills to pursue entry-level roles in staging, decorating, or assisting professional designers – all while being guided by Liberty’s mission to serve others with integrity and excellence.
