Interior Design at UF

The Interior Design undergraduate program is a first professional degree that prepares students who want to practice design. The program is accredited by the Council for Interior Design Accreditation (CIDA). It was one of the first programs accredited and has maintained continuous accreditation status since its initial accreditation in 1974. Students in the program are required to complete 120 credit hours and it takes 4 years to complete the bachelor’s degree. Most of our students start as Interior Design majors their first year while others join us via the college’s GDC transfer program or as transfer students from other majors within the University.
The program resides within the College of Design, Construction, and Planning and is the only Interior Design program in the State of Florida that benefits from having Architecture, Landscape Architecture, Historic Preservation, Sustainability in the Built Environment, Urban and Regional Planning and Construction Management all under one college. The richness of the multidisciplinary makeup of the college is exciting and palpable and provides many opportunities for interdisciplinary collaborations.
