The 66 credit program is designed to be completed in 9 semesters / 36 months plus the introductory 6-week intensives, and must not exceed 72 months. Students who show documentation of prior experience in interior design may have the opportunity to waive the introductory six-week intensives. All students must maintain a 3.0 cumulative GPA.
