Interior Design Educational Programs
Interior design programs are accredited through the Council for Interior Design Education (CIDA) www.accredit-id.org.
Professional level programs accredited by the Council for Interior Design Accreditation voluntarily place themselves before the scrutiny of the profession to ensure that students receive an education that will serve them not only during their time at school, but also prepare them for future professional growth. Students enrolled in an accredited interior design program can be confident that the program meets the quality standards recognized by the profession.
