Does CIDA accredit online programs?
CIDA will accredit programs delivered via distance methodology if the program meets CIDA standards and eligibility requirements. Many accredited programs include courses that are delivered or supported through online learning environments. The programs at Academy of Art University and The Art Institute of Pittsburgh deliver all courses in the accredited programs via both distance and campus-based methods. Both methodologies are included in the scope of these programs’ accreditation status.
