The Department of Interior Design at the University of Florida is an internationally recognized program committed to evidence-based design that emphasizes the role of human-centered research to guide the design process. This process centers on the human occupants and how design can optimize the interior to meet their needs through healthy, safe, functional, sustainable, and culturally sensitive design. Our interdisciplinary foundational design studios offer the knowledge and hands-on skills necessary to excel in many design fields. The studio environment, mentored by professional, NCIDQ-certified faculty, supports individual and team project-based learning that combines design thinking, intensive research, design development, creativity, and technical skills, preparing our graduates to become leaders in the field. Our Program has been accredited by the Council for Interior Design Accreditation (CIDA, formerly FIDER) since 1974 and has continuously placed graduates in top positions in the field. The Department of Interior Design engages in research and creative scholarship with expertise in technology, design, communication, sustainability, lighting, history, and materials. Minimum requirements for the M.I.D. degree are available in the Graduate Degrees section of this catalog.
