Miami real-estate mavens and architects know the value of a well-educated interior designer, so it's no wonder there are two top-notch programs here. The program at Miami International University of Art and Design builds on your innate artistic talents by adding business skills, such as problem-solving, record-keeping, and contract writing. Florida International University has its school of architecture, whose sole purpose is to put out better architects and interior designers. These two professions go hand in hand, hence the bachelor of design in architectural studies and bachelor of science in interior design offered here.
Job growth projections for interior designers in the Miami area are excellent: the occupation is expected to grow 31% through 2012. That's not even including freelance and part-time gigs, or the 1,000 full-time positions already out there!
