Miami's four-year professional degree program qualifies students to enter the interior design profession (and ultimately become licensed interior designers after examination) or to pursue graduate programs in interior design, architecture, or related disciplines. What are the features of Miami's program? Interdisciplinary approach Miami's program in Interior Design is one of a small number of programs administratively aligned with the major in architecture. This partnership within the department reflects the strong association between interior designers and architects in current practice and reinforces the interdisciplinary nature of design education. The program also draws on the strength of Miami's liberal arts education tradition by requiring coursework from several related programs across campus.
