What do CIDA Professional Standards address?
Broadly, CIDA Professional Standards measure whether an interior design program has achieved the expectations for entry-level professional education. Standards describe student learning expectations (skills and knowledge) as well as expectations for educational experiences the program offers students, such as work experience, community involvement, exposure to diverse cultures, etc. CIDA Standards clearly describe the critical core outcomes of interior design education, while also encouraging educational innovation and a range of approaches to design education.
