What is the difference between an accredited interior design school and one that isn’t?
there are many schools around my area that offer interior design as a major. but only a couple are accredited. so if i went to a school that hasn’t been accredited for it’s interior design program, how would that affect my interior design career?
Accredited schools have to meet certain criteria by the accrediting organization. It may not make much of a difference when you arem doing your interior design, but if you ever decided to go back to school, if you go to an unaccredited school, those credits most likely won’t be recognized. I would only trust an accredited school to give me the education I needed.
