I've been eyeing the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising (FIDM), but I want to make sure it's accredited before considering it further. Can someone here confirm if FIDM is accredited, and if so, by which accrediting body?
Yes, FIDM (Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising) is an accredited institution. It is regionally accredited by the WASC Senior College and University Commission (WSCUC), which is one of the six regional accrediting bodies recognized by the U.S. Department of Education. This level of accreditation ensures that the education and academic programs at FIDM meet certain quality standards and that credits earned at the institution can potentially be transferred to other regionally accredited colleges and universities.
