After the three-day review, the CIDA team is recommending the program for reaccreditation, which is a six-year period. This important milestone leads to a final decision by the CIDA board in April.<\/p>\n<p>The CIDA onsite team noted 16 areas of strength, including these:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Global Context and Cultural Meaning<\/li>\n<li>Creative Solutions, Innovation, and Risk Taking<\/li>\n<li>Visual Communications and Use of a Breadth of Media Types<\/li>\n<li>Creation of Construction Documentation<\/li>\n<li>Understanding and Use of Building Codes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Of the 154 measures used for accreditation, the CIDA team noted four areas for improvement, including industry-specific guidelines and broadening the range of materials used in projects.<\/p>\n<p>In 2011, the school earned a six-year accreditation from CIDA.\u00a0 For reaccreditation, CIDA\u00a0requires a three-day onsite review by a visiting team of three practitioners\/educators to determine whether a program meets its standards for interior design\/architecture education.\u00a0 A significant element in this peer-review process is evaluating student work to determine achievement levels as an indicator of the adequacy of the required curriculum.\u00a0 Student learning is a primary gauge of educational quality and is evaluated for demonstration of knowledge, understanding, ability, skills, appropriate application and competency.<\/p>\n<p>The team also considers academic and professional qualifications of the faculty; adequacy of the facilities; administrative structure of the program and its relationship to the institution as a whole; and program assessment methods.<\/p>\n<p>The team toured the building, reviewed student work, met with faculty and interviewed students.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the CIDA accreditation, the School of Interior Architecture earned a nine-year accreditation from the National Association of Schools of Art and Design in 2011.\u00a0 For information about the college\u2019s accreditations, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/archdesign.utk.edu\/academics\/accreditation\/\">archdesign.utk.edu\/academics\/accreditation\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In October, the School of Interior Architecture hosted a team representing the Council for Interior Design Accreditation for an onsite review toward reaccreditation.
