FIDER accredited private school vs. State university? Hi, I am an international transfer student. I want to pursue a BS in Interior design, I have to decide between private FIDER accredited schools like Art Institute of Atlanta, American Intercontinental University against state schools like Georgia State university. I really dont know if the private schools are well respected in the American job market for interior designers. Basically is it better worth my time and money to go to a private university (FIDER accredited) and get a BS or go to a state university (not FIDER accredited), especially in terms of quality of education and employablity. Thanks ... (Asked by girish c)

i am pretty much pondering the same question ( i too am a interior desginer wanna be) and have reached the conclusiion that the eduation you get is pretty much the same, but in terms of getting a job, firms will choose an identical candiate that is FIDER accrdited over you if you get your degree form a non-acrredited school. Unless you are set on working freelance, going with the accrdited school would be better....(Answered by Tiny Dancer)

are regionally accredited schools better than nationally accredited schools?can it affect job placement? I'm panicking because I just found out that the college I attend is no longer regionally accredited. I've been told that this can affect finding a good job with a diploma from the school. They are nationally accredited though. I've also found out that there are big companies that used to hire the new grads from the school, but will no longer do so. This can't be good. (The college is a private school) I have asked quetions, but it seems they are sugar coating the answers. ... (Asked by livin4Him)

The U.S. Department of Education does not accredit schools. It has set up six (I think) Regional Accreditation Agencies. You are very right. This is NOT good. You said it is a private school. If it is owned by a religious group (how Catholics own Loyola University per se) then you MAY (slim chance) be okay. But, most companies want a diploma from a school that is Regionally Accredited (there is no such thing as Nationally Accredited in the U.S.) Also, if you are getting any student loans or grants, they usually only pay to Regionally Accredited ...(Answered by Grueny)

If you MUST take online courses, you should DEFINITELY take them under the auspices of a well-known and REGIONALLY (not nationally) accredited university. Many reputable state universities offer affordable online courses (and even degrees) these days. Please do research before you waste your money. Stay away from for-profit online schools. Stick with Distance Education programs from known state schools. Here is a list of regional accreditation associations. If the program you are considering is not accredited by one of these bodies, you should look elsewhere. Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools New England Association of Schools ...(Answered by Professor X)

As far as I know, there is no national accreditation for schools. I understand the Bush administration is looking in to national accreditation. At present there are a number of regional accrediting groups. For instance, schools in New Yok are accredited by the Middles States Association of Colleges and Schools. Certain professional associations also accredit particlular programs given by a college. For instance, the American Library Association rates library school programs. So, in a sense, that kind of accreditation is national. But what you might be talking about are the rankings in U.S. ...(Answered by Ace Librarian)

FIDER accredited interior design schools? Is it better to get an Interior design degree from a FIDER accredited school, i.e. if I get a degree from an interior design school that is not FIDER accredited will I be disadvantaged in the job market? ... (Asked by girish c)

In general, getting a degree from a FIDER accredited design school is more likely to help you get a job than if you had a degree from a school that wasn't FIDER accredited. That's "in general". If you're an excellent student who ends up with an amazing portfolio, makes good contacts in the industry, and gets some co-op or internship experience in the field before you graduate, that may be even more important than where, exactly, you went to school....(Answered by RoaringMice)

Non-accredited graduate program. Is this a bad idea? An MPH (Masters in Public Health) program that I am considering is not accredited, although the university itself is and it has applied for accreditation. There are a couple of other programs that are accredited in the area that are significantly further away and/or more costly ~$20K. I would be attending part-time while continuing to work full-time (job doesn't offer educational assistance and mother of two under 7). The plan upon graduating is to run a health clinic as well as work in conjunction with some government agencies. My question is would the degree be a complete waste of time ... (Asked by roni1785)

It depends on the school and program. There are many legitimate reasons that a program might not be accredited. If, for instance, we are talking about a school like University of Phoenix (or other for-profit organization), then enrolling in that program might be a horrible waste. On the other hand, if you are enrolling in a recognized, reputable, institution of higher education, then there is usually no problem going to a program that is not yet accredited. The only thing you have to keep in mind is if you need any licenses that require graduation from a accredited/board certified institution. ...(Answered by aedesign)

A.
Not that I know of. Besides, music is such an "on-hands" type of learning situation that one needs the advice (in person) from the professors to improve. How would you take your private lessons if not in a university or community college? Consider community college, and then transferring in your junior year or applying for a music scholarship. Depending upon your talent, you may be eligible for such. I recommend you meet with academic advisors at the college of your choice. Their services are free and they are quite helpful....(Answered by Rhonda)
