UCLA EXTENSION ARC_ID RECEIVES RE-ACCREDITATION BY THE COUNCIL ON INTERIOR DESIGN ACCREDITATION (CIDA)
CIDA's Accreditation Commission made its decision at its March 13-14, 2008 meeting to grant re-accreditation to UCLA Extension ARC-ID. Thank you and congratulations to all the students and faculty who participated in the accreditation review.  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. Students enrolled in an accredited interior design program can be confident that the program meets the quality standards recognized by the profession.
