Partners in Quality
The value of the accreditation process in assuring quality interior design education is understood and supported by a number of companies, individuals, and organizations. These Partners in Quality provide crucial financial support to ensure that CIDA is able to continue its growth at a critical juncture of organizational development, as well as develop and deliver the services needed by interior design programs to achieve high academic standards, while making education more responsive to students and society.
