The Architecture Department Chair of City College of San Francisco reached out to the head of the Interior Design program, Elsa Torres (Canada College, CSM campus with the Interior Design program). They met through Zoom today 10/1/2020. Elsa is OK with CCSF's Core Skills Interior Design, CAch proposal and Interior Design, AS proposal. CCSF's interior design programs are non-competing. CCSF is more Architecture/Interior Design focused. CSM has more specialized programs within Interior Design, such as Kitchen and Bath and Home Staging. CCSF also draws from a different population. Our students are mostly from San Francisco County.
