CIDA Accreditation

The UW-Stout Bachelor of Fine Arts in Interior Design program has been awarded continued accreditation by the Council for Interior Design Accreditation (formerly known as FIDER) since 2000. 

Students enrolled in an accredited interior design program can be confident that the program meets the quality standards recognized by the profession.  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.
