The curriculum in architecture is accredited by the National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB). The interior architecture and product design curriculum is accredited by the Council for Interior Design Accreditation (CIDA), and approved by National Association of Schools of Art and Design (NASAD). The landscape architecture curriculum is accredited by the Landscape Architectural Accreditation Board (LAAB).

APDesign offers both professional and post-professional degrees with several points of entry  to the accredited programs including accredited 5-year non-baccalaureate Master’s degrees designed for high school graduates and transfer students, accredited 2-3+ year post-baccalaureate Master’s degrees designed for students who hold a bachelor’s degree in any field, non-accredited 2 year post-professional degrees for students who hold accredited degrees in one of the design/planning professions, as well as an interdisciplinary Ph.D. designed for students who have either earned a master’s or a bachelor’s degree coupled with relevant professional, research or creative work experience.

”The ownership of student works submitted in fulfillment of academic requirements shall be with the creator(s). The student, by enrolling in the institution, gives the institution a non-exclusive royalty-free license to mark on, modify, retain the work as may be required by the process of instruction, or otherwise handle the work as set out in the institution’s intellectual property policy or in the course syllabus. The institution shall not have the right to use work in any other manner without the written consent of the creator(s).” ”Otherwise handle,” as referenced in this policy, includes display of student work in various media and use for accreditation purposes.
