Online Interior Design Degree Programs
The Interior Design programs at many of our schools are accredited by the Council for Interior Design Accreditation (CIDA). This assures you that your education will not only serve you during your time in school, but prepare you for future professional growth. You can be confident that the Interior Design programs at The Art Institute of Atlanta meet the quality standards recognized by the profession.
There are some courses available but you should proceed with caution. Correspondence programs, as a rule, are not recognized as a sufficient or credible form of education in the interior design field. You may get an introduction to interior design, but correspondence programs most likely will not provide you with the credentials you will need to take the NCIDQ Examination, be licensed in most states or provinces, or be hired by most interior design firms. A few credible four-year schools are offering online programs, but it will be worthwhile to find out their graduation rates and where their graduates are employed.
Professional degree programs in the field of interior design are accredited by the Council for Interior Design Accreditation (CIDA) and by the National Association of Schools of Art and Design (NASAD). CIDA and NASAD recognize multiple degree titles including the Bachelor of Interior Architecture (or interior design), and the Master of Interior Architecture (or interior design). A program may be granted a 6-year, 3-year, or 2-year term of accreditation, depending on the extent of its conformance with established educational standards.
