BEGIN YOUR FUTURE IN DESIGN. APPLICATIONS ARE OPEN FOR SEMESTER 1 | S.Y. 2025-2026

The Bachelor of Science in Interior Design (Professional Track) at SoFA Design Institute offers a focused and intensive course of study for second-degree takers and career shifters who are seeking to enter the field of interior design. Tailored for individuals who have already completed a bachelor’s degree, this track allows students to concentrate on major interior design courses without the need to retake general education subjects.

The program emphasizes conceptual and critical thinking in spatial design, taking into consideration all aspects of space making—proportion, form and configuration, scale, texture, light, materials, and color. All of these elements are then composed in relation to the human body.

The Professional Track is designed for students who aspire to become licensed interior designers and is in full compliance with CHED regulations. Graduates are eligible to take the annual licensure examination for interior designers as regulated by the Professional Regulation Commission.
