Online Interior Architecture & Design Degree

The School of Interior Architecture & Design offers an online interior design degree program fully aligned with our onsite courses so that students get the same curriculum, regardless of the campus. Through a robust and well-established online education program, the Academy’s exclusive Learning Management System (LMS), built from the ground up, provides custom content to our online students. The same instructors, as well as access to tools and resources are also provided, same as for those on-site.

Both the Bachelor of Fine Art and Master of Fine Art online degree programs for the School of Interior Architecture & Design are accredited by the Council for Interior Design Accreditation (CIDA), an independent, non-profit accrediting organization for interior design education programs at colleges and universities in North America. This means that you will receive quality education no matter where you may be.

How Online Courses Work at the Academy

The Academy provides the coursework—including beautifully produced videos, narrated slideshows, digital documents, interviews with experts, livestreams and more. As you complete assignments, you simply upload your work to the Academy’s Learning Management System (LMS) where it’s shared with your class, and your instructor can leave visual markups, video, written and recorded feedback.

Your Information Hub

Visual, interactive and dynamic. You will find all your classes, profiles, news, assignments, grades, English speaking & writing support, academic support, and more in the Online Hub. All tailored to make your online education rich and engaging.

Your Collaborative Space

Freely exchange thoughts, post work, and provide or receive constructive feedback—just like you would in a campus environment. You and your peers support and push each other, creating long-lasting connections that live beyond the course. You may not be on campus, but you’re not alone.

Your Studio & Gallery

Submit your artwork for evaluation, and if you’d like, include audio, video, and/or written descriptions of the work, and instructors can provide detailed feedback in the same way.
