Career paths in this area

Architect and Landscape Architect SOC 17-1011
Architects design buildings and take legal responsibility for them. ⚠⚠⚠ The fact that governs everything else: Florida licenses architects BY STATUTE on a degree from an NAAB-accredited programme, and only five Florida public institutions hold one — FAMU, FAU, FIU, UF and USF. ⚠⚠ UCF is the state's second-largest producer of architecture bachelor's and is NOT on that list, because its degree is the middle third of a deliberate 2+2+2 with Valencia and UF. This page covers three roles in one family and the three different entry levels they take.
⚠⚠⚠ Architectural Sciences and Technology — claimed because FAU's accredited B.Arch (61 bachelor's) and FIU's accredited M.Arch (152 master's) are FILED HERE, not under 04.02. A path anchored on the obvious code alone would miss two of Florida's five public architecture schools. ⚠ It also holds Architectural Technology (04.0901), the associate-level drafting route at 8 state colleges.
Interior Designer SOC 27-1025
Interior designers plan the inside of buildings — space, light, materials, furniture and the codes that govern all of it. ⚠⚠⚠ The decision this page exists to answer is not which major but WHICH MARKET: in Florida ALL RESIDENTIAL work is exempt from registration by statute, while nonresidential work runs through a 60-credit education floor, up to 5,280 supervised hours and a national exam. ⚠⚠ And the credential LEVEL is worth a year — an associate or certificate needs three years of work experience where a bachelor's needs two, for the identical exam.
⚠⚠⚠ Architectural Sciences and Technology — claimed because FIU's CIDA-ACCREDITED Master of Interior Architecture is filed HERE, not under Interior Design. FIU awards nothing at all under 50.0408 despite running a Department of Interior Architecture, so a list built from the obvious code omits one of Florida's four accredited public programmes. ⚠ An NAAB architecture degree is also an NCIDQ education route, at 5,280 hours.
