Yes and no. While you don't always need accreditation to work as such, the people who tend to be successful in the jobs I mentioned are typically the ones who undertake proper 4-year (or more) degree granting programs in them. The ones who take shortcuts, or go at it without proper training, tend to be stuck at the bottom rung long-term.
And yes, I think its important that they teach actual tangible skills and not just fluff. In that sense, the applied arts are very similar to the Trades, but in a different context...you come out of it with a skill or a craft.
All I'm saying is that not all Arts degrees are about feelings and expressing yourself. There are tangible skills there to build a career on.
