FAFSA earnings check
: Not flaggedInterior Designers Institute does not trigger the FAFSA's "lower earnings" notice. Its graduates' median earnings four years after completing were $75,077, above the $36,565 median for high school graduates aged 25 to 34 in California.
This is one figure for the whole institution, not for any program: earnings differ by credential and field. It covers graduates who completed in 2017-18 and 2018-19, received federal aid, and were working and not enrolled when earnings were measured in 2022 and 2023, in January 2026 dollars. The Department says the notice is informational only: it does not change aid eligibility. Source: U.S. Department of Education, FSA Data Center, March 2026 release.

Frequently asked questions
About Interior Designers Institute
Built from CampusPin profile data. Always verify final admissions, cost, financial aid, and program details with the institution before applying. See our data methodology and data dictionary.
- Where is Interior Designers Institute located?
- Interior Designers Institute is located in Newport Beach, CA, in the United States.
- What type of institution is Interior Designers Institute?
- Interior Designers Institute is a private university based in CA. CampusPin classifies institutions as either four-year universities or two-year community colleges, with control labeled public or private.
- Is Interior Designers Institute open admission?
- Yes. Interior Designers Institute reports an open admission policy to the federal IPEDS survey (IPEDS, admission policy reported in the 2024-25 IC collection), which IPEDS defines as accepting any student who applies. Individual programs, often nursing and other health programs, can still set their own entry requirements, so check the program you want with the college.
- What is the tuition at Interior Designers Institute?
- Interior Designers Institute's published in-state tuition is approximately $20,250 per year (IPEDS, charges for academic year 2024-25). This is the published price before financial aid; the net price most students actually pay is typically lower. Verify the current academic-year tuition with the institution before applying.
- How many students attend Interior Designers Institute?
- Interior Designers Institute reports total enrollment of approximately 102 students (undergraduate plus graduate) (IPEDS, fall 2024 enrollment). Total enrollment is a useful sizing signal, see the institutional profile for additional breakdowns when available.
- What is the graduation rate at Interior Designers Institute?
- Interior Designers Institute reports a graduation rate of approximately 88%. This measures the share of a prior entering cohort who completed their degree within the federal tracking window. It reflects who enrolls as much as what the institution does, so it is not on its own a measure of teaching quality, and it is not comparable across institutions serving very different students.
- How much student debt do graduates of Interior Designers Institute have?
- Students who borrowed at Interior Designers Institute left with a median of approximately $22,082 in federal loans, and about 44% of students took federal loans at all. Both numbers matter: a median describes only the students who borrowed, so it reads very differently at a school where most students borrow than at one where few do. Federal loans only, so private and parent borrowing are not included.
- How much do graduates of Interior Designers Institute earn?
- Median earnings approximately ten years after entry are $54,974 for students who received federal financial aid at Interior Designers Institute. This reflects the mix of programs the institution offers and the students who enroll, not the effect of attending, and it covers aid recipients rather than all graduates.
- How should I verify final details about Interior Designers Institute?
- CampusPin compiles institutional data from public datasets like IPEDS and the College Scorecard, plus institutional websites and editorial review. Before applying, paying a deposit, or making a final decision, confirm admissions requirements, current tuition, financial aid, deadlines, and program details directly with Interior Designers Institute.
- How much do Design and Applied Arts graduates from Interior Designers Institute earn?
- Interior Designers Institute's bachelor's graduates in Design and Applied Arts earned a median $67,473 four years after graduating, 31% above the $51,490 national median for the same program (2017-19 graduates, measured 2022-23, College Scorecard). One year after graduating, a later class (2018-20 graduates, measured 2020-21) earned a median $51,188; the two figures describe different graduates, not one class's growth. Graduates who borrowed took out a median $26,057 in federal loans at this college (about $276 a month on a 10-year plan), and had $28,655 in total federal debt including other colleges attended (same degree level).
- Does Interior Designers Institute get a "lower earnings" warning on the FAFSA?
- No. In the Department of Education's March 2026 data, which the FAFSA uses now, Interior Designers Institute's graduates' median earnings four years after completing were $75,077, above the $36,565 median for high school graduates aged 25 to 34 in California, so first-year students who list it do not see the lower-earnings notice. The figure describes the whole institution, not any one program.
