Accreditation: what does it mean for a student?

It means quality. Quality instructors, quality content, quality curriculum and opportunities to leverage the technologies available so our students graduate with the skills that are necessary to succeed in interior and product design. CIDA, the Council for Interior Design Accreditation, is closely connected to the interior design industry and its changing nature, ensuring that those with their listed accreditation are evolving in technology and curriculum advancements. This ensures our students receive a professional-level degree, from start to finish.
