Interior Designers Institute is a private for-profit institution located in Newport Beach, California with approximately 107 undergraduate students enrolled. In-state tuition is $20,250 per year. The graduation rate is 88%, and the typical graduate earns $46,300 within 10 years of enrollment.
This tiny Newport Beach program — just 107 students — offers a surprisingly strong 88% graduation rate, suggesting real support for students who enroll. The concern is the financial picture: median earnings of $46,300 a decade out are modest, though the $22,082 median debt load is relatively manageable compared to many for-profit schools. Worth considering if you're set on interior design and want a small, focused program, but go in clear-eyed that this career path won't deliver high salaries quickly.
