The MID program equips students for diverse career paths across multiple sectors. As noted by the American Society of Interior Designers (ASID), professionals in this field operate in varied environments spanning both commercial and residential spaces. Pursuing a master's degree enables deeper specialization while opening doors to additional prospects such as academic research and instruction. The University of Florida's interior design program maintains consistent national recognition as a top-tier U.S. program with significant global appeal, celebrated for its research prowess. Earning an MID helps cultivate sophisticated creative and analytical capabilities.
The Master of Interior Design (MID) prepares graduates for professional practice, research endeavors, and specialized focus in built environment design. Beyond classroom studies, the program's primary requirement involves completing a scholarly research thesis that contributes meaningful insights to the field's collective knowledge.
Students must have a recognized baccalaureate, graduate or professional degree from a regionally accredited U.S. institution or a comparable degree from an international institution. For applicants with a bachelor’s degree only, a minimum grade point average of B (3.0), calculated from all grades and credits after the semester where the applicant reached 60 semester hours or 90 quarter hours and Graduate Record Examination (GRE) scores that are acceptable to the applicant’s intended academic unit or, for select programs, at least 465 on the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT).
For applicants from countries (including Puerto Rico) where English is not the official language, a minimum score on one of these English Language Skills tests: Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL): 550 paper, or 80 Internet; International English Language Testing System (IELTS): 6; Michigan English Language Assessment Battery (MELAB): 77, or documented successful completion of the University of Florida English Language Institute program.
