3) Eligibility of Multiple Program or Degree Outcomes and Credit Hours Proportion: • A program is defined by CIDA as a sequenced curriculum of interior design and related professional coursework that includes a minimum of 30 semester credit hours of liberal arts and results in a degree. • Delivery method is also a distinguishing feature of programs. If 25% or more of the interior design courses required for graduation and/or 50% of the general education courses required for graduation are delivered through an alternate delivery method, such as on-line learning, the program will submit information describing the variations between alternate delivery courses and campus-based courses.

4) Conversion to Semester Credit Hours: • For the purpose of accreditation, a semester credit hour is defined as: one (1) lecture hour per week for a minimum of 13 weeks, two (2) studio contact hours per week, or 45-54 clock hours of internship. • A semester is no less than 13 weeks in length. • To convert quarter credit hours to semester credit hours, multiply the quarter credit hours by 2/3, e.g. 3 quarter hours x 2/3 = 2 semester credit hours.
