The Department of Family and Consumer Sciences at Sam Houston State University invites you to visit our department and explore the possibility of transferring to SHSU as an interior design major pursuing the Bachelor of Arts degree. Most students enrolled in the program are preparing for careers as interior designers in residential or commercial design or in retail businesses such as department and furniture stores. Graduates of our program often work with entrepreneurs in small design firms. They feed into an open and welcoming job market, often having networked for a suitable entry-level position through the required internship program.

A maximum of 66 credit hours (excluding kinesiology) may be transferred from a community college to Sam Houston State University. Students should carefully select courses to complete the associate degree while minimizing the number of hours that might exceed the 66 hour cap for transfer credit.
In addition to the above courses, all courses in the State of Texas Common Core may be transferred between institutions.
Students may transfer to SHSU at any time as long as they meet SHSU's admission requirements. Students close to completing the requirements for the associate degree are encouraged to consider the potential advantages of completing the associate degree. One way to accomplish this is to transfer courses taken at SHSU back to the community college to complete degree requirements. Properly selected courses may be used to satisfy degree requirements at both institutions simultaneously. The applicant is encouraged to speak to an academic advisor familiar with the programs of all institutions involved to maximize the amount of transferable credit.
