National Council for Interior Design Qualification (NCIDQ) Exam
The NCIDQ Exam is the professional exam for Interior Designers. Passing it is required to be a professional member of Interior Design organizations like, ASID and IIDA, and for licensing in most states. In Utah, we have the Commercial Interior Design License. To qualify to sit for the exam, students in 2-year degrees need to have a minimum of 60 Interior Design specific credits. To meet this goal, students would need to take an additional 5 credits in the elective offerings for a total of 13 elective credits (5 courses). The following would be most beneficial:
- INTD 1750 Design Psychology

- INTD 2000 Internship
- INTD 2800 Historic Preservation
- INTD 2900 Independent Study
