Process for Programmatic Accreditation

Programs seeking accreditation or reaffirming accreditation from a U.S. Department of Education (USDE) or Council of Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) recognized accrediting organizations should follow the process described on these pages. Reviews for these specialized and professional accreditation/certification include at least this basic series of phases: a self-study report, an on-site review, and a follow-up. Since Institutional Effectiveness is involved to some degree in scheduling, auditing or providing information for all three phases, there are some expectations and procedures that allow us to help you in the most efficient manner.

Please see the university expectations and procedures for each phase of the review through the links provided below
