    interior design program requirements

    The program in interior design is planned to prepare students for professional careers in residential and nonresidential interior design. Career opportunities include employment with interior design studios, interior design divisions of architectural firms, and retail establishments. The coursework is designed to prepare students to apply to become registered interior designers through the National Council for Interior Design Qualification (NCIDQ) exam. The interior design program is accredited by the Council for Interior Design Accreditation (CIDA) and the National Association of School of Art and Design (NASAD).

    All students interested in transferring into the interior design program at The University of Alabama should contact the Department of Clothing, Textiles and Interior Design at least one year prior to enrollment, if possible, to verify transfer credits. Transcripts, student work, project assignments, and course syllabi may be required at the time of transfer.
