How long will it take for me to finish a College of Design (CDes) degree after I get admitted?

Apparel, Graphics, Interior Design, and Architecture majors:

It will take you FOUR YEARS to complete a design or an architecture degree after admission, even if you completed prior transfer studio courses in these fields. The reason for this is that studio courses are taught very differently between schools, so it is highly unlikely any of your international transfer studios courses will meet CDes degree requirements. Please talk to a prospective student adviser before you apply for admission.

Retail Merchandising, Housing Studies, and Environmental Design majors.

The length of time it will take to finish one of these CDes majors depends on the transfer courses you have already completed. The department will review your coursework AFTER ADMISSION to determine how long you have left to earn one of these majors. Please talk to a prospective student adviser before you apply for admission.
