If you have an undergraduate degree with a grade point average of 3.2 on a 4.0 scale and GRE scores of at least 1100 (verbal and quantitative), Admissions will send your file to the Department of Interior Design where graduate faculty members will review your application. Based on your experience and previous education, a course of study (including leveling courses if needed) will be recommended.

Students entering the MID will work with the Graduate Coordinator to evaluate their educational experiences and to determine the specific courses recommended to facilitate their interests.
