Procedure To Get Enrolled In An Interior Design School

The procedure to apply for admissions to any interior design schools follows a similar route in all colleges. Here is a generalized form of the procedure through which you'll be taken.

1) Most colleges allow you to apply online for the admission using a web-based form that you can fill up online.

2) A non-refundable fee is collected during this primary phase which is normally $50 for students in USA and up to $100 for International students.

Also while submitting forms it is necessary that you submit a variety of other documents such as

  • Official transcript from your current school / college. It’s better if the transcripts have an original University seal on them.
  • Statement of why you want to join this particular course. This is sometimes called as “statement of intent.”
  • You can even submit your own creative work previously done in the form of JPEG images. 
  • Test scores for various tests such as TOEFL, IELTS and PET etc.
  • For international students it's also necessary that apart from all these above they must submit their material to World Education Service (WES) . The WES converts you current grades in school to grading scales equivalent to the ones in United States.

It is necessary that you must have a F1 visa to enter United States as a student if you wish to enroll in any interior design school. If you already have a visa other than F1, then you must apply for a change of visa with the International student advisory to proceed further.


  • If you get admitted in the college, the college or the design school will send you the information to apply for the F1 visa
  • To apply for the student visa for United States find out the nearest U. S. embassy and apply for an interview date. Here is the website to locate the embassy nearest to you
  • You must prepare for your visa Interview properly with the following documents

 a) Passport
 b) Letter from the design school you have applied to
 c) Proof of English proficiency
 d) Information about sponsors with bank documents.
 e) Proof of current social status which helps embassy to determine that you will return to your original country once you have finished your course in the design school abroad.

If the Visa is approved you are ready to leave your country and join the interior design school in the United States. Now there can be some variations in the procedure mentioned above depending upon where you have applied but this is what it looks like to apply and get enrolled in an interior design school.
