Abstract A key task for universities to prepare for the future in the face of rapidly social changes after the decline of the school-age population and the COVID-19 outbreak is the development of innovative curriculum. While the development of class in majors is becoming more important, this study looked at the case of experience-oriented education that can be growed self-directed creative talents in the field of interior design through specific curriculum operation. The interior design service learning using project-based cooperative CPS curriculum at Gachon University highlighted the various educational effects required for interior design majors. The characteristics and educational effects of the class are summariz ed as follow s. First, it was possible to systematize the educational performance that was easy to miss in the non-course as the service learning class was operated as a subject in which individual interests and public purposes create mutual value. Second, as the class was organiz ed based on projects, students w ere able to develop practical skills while solving and operating practical problems. In addition, they w ere able to reflect on their future improvement points by using their existing major knowledge. Third, through the class, students w ere able to learn the process of creatively exploring problems and solving cooperatively. Professors and university were also able to implement the goal of cultivating creative talents in cooperation through this class. In conclusion, this class provides students with project-based practical courses, experiences to collaborate creatively and problem-solving, and provides opportunities to contribute to society through their efforts. In this respect, the class can be evaluated as one of the meaningful class models.
