Home Staging Specialist (T.C.) (6399)

The Home Staging Specialist Technical Certificate provides students with the foundational skills required for entry-level positions in the home staging industry. Staging techniques focus on effectively and efficiently improving a property’s marketability. Homeowners, builders, and realtors rely on home staging to make a home appealing to potential buyers, thereby maximizing the selling price and minimizing the time a home sits on the market.

In the Home Staging Specialist program, students will develop proficiency in the knowledge and application of the elements and principles of design; the use of color and texture; scale, proportion, and balance in designing interior spaces; furniture placement in floor plans and cabinet designs in elevations; and environmental considerations. The program emphasizes practical skills. Projects include understanding the client, as well as researching and making selections based on the client’s criteria.

This technical certificate may be completed entirely online; however not all of the interior design courses in this program are offered every term. It is best to contact the program office regarding scheduling questions or concerns.

All courses in this technical certificate are also included in the program degree. Students have the option of applying all of the coursework completed in this program toward the associate’s degree. The Interior Design Technology degree cannot be completed entirely online.

If you plan to pursue the degree program in this same field, please note that this certificate articulates directly into a degree that includes a Mathematical Thinking in Context math pathway.
