Experienced Faculty
The College is proud of its carefully selected staff and
faculty members who bring varied educational and work
experiences from their fields. Many are involved on a
day-to-day basis in their profession and contribute knowledge
and skills that reflect the current trends and requirements of
their respective fields.
Historic Facilities
Bauder is now located in what used to be the Southern Railway
engine repair yard. These historic buildings (listed on the
National Register of Historic Sites) have been completely
renovated for the college's use while preserving much of the
flavor and character of the historic location. In addition to a
wealth of up-to-date facilities, there are several special
purpose PC and Macintosh laboratories, a specialized classroom
for the medical assistant program, general classroom space,
sewing labs, a magnificent new library and a state-of-the-art
Visual Image Center for multi-media shows and presentations.
Financial Aid
Prior to enrolling at the College, all applicants are
encouraged to explore the availability of financial aid funding
through state and federal agencies. Financial aid information
and application assistance is provided by the College's
Financial Aid Office to help students and their families
clearly understand their financial situations.
Associate of Arts in Fashion Design
Back to top
The Associate of Arts in Fashion Design program instills
characteristics that employers in the design industry want to
see, including a strong foundation of design, illustration,
computer and presentation skills. Students gain hands-on
experience not only in pattern making, clothing construction,
draping and specialty design, but also in creating storyboards
and visual presentations from illustration and computer
techniques.
The implementation of computer graphics into the curriculum
provides even more of a competitive edge by using the computer
for fashion illustrations, textile design, flat drawings and
specifications, graphic layouts and spreadsheets. The curriculum
is constantly reviewed by the Advisory Board to meet the needs of
industry demands and changes.
Upon completion of the program, graduates may pursue careers in
entry-level positions such as assistant designer, illustrator,
pattern maker, graphic artist, spec illustrator, stylist,
technical designer, CAD or CAM operator and many more.
Associate of Arts in Interior Design
Back to top
Professional interior designers need to speak the language of
both client and contractor. Their job is both creative and
technical, aesthetic and practical. They are expected to
coordinate a consultation through conception and completion,
including space planning, design development and installation.
They must understand furnishings, finishes, colors, lighting,
architectural detailing and all the other elements of design.
The first year of this program establishes a firm base in design
and core classes with emphasis on the language and terminology
needed to communicate in the field as well as an understanding of
the business aspects of design. The second year further develops
the student's knowledge and design skills and allows for advanced
study practice in all areas of interior design, including the use
of computers as design tools.
Note: Bauder College is not an online school. The programs
are offered on its campus in Altanta, GA and students must
currently live in or be willing to relocate to the Atlanta, GA
area to attend one of Bauder College's programs.
