Full‐time educators felt that it was necessary to establish an organization that specifically met their needs. Thus, in 1963 educators formed the IDEC.⁵

The IDEC mission is the advancement of interior design education, scholarship, and service.⁶ Most members of IDEC are full‐time faculty members. Full‐time interior design educators who have also received appropriate interior design education and have professional work experience may become professional‐level members. Many are also professional or educator members of ASID, IIDA, and other associations.

IDEC is responsible for the publication of the Journal of Interior Design, a refereed journal. It is the only scholarly journal of the profession. The journal provides a mechanism for research materials to be widely distributed to educators and interested professionals.
