The Commission on Accreditation (CoA) held its spring 2022 program review meeting from March 30–April 2, 2022. The CoA conducted a review of 63 programs during this meeting, including nine applicant programs receiving an initial accredited status. Due to travel restrictions because of COVID-19, all the applicant programs participated in a virtual site visit as part of the accreditation application process. All programs overall that undergo or underwent a virtual site visit must be site visited in-person when practicable. These programs will receive notice when decisions are made regarding approving and scheduling the required on-site verification visit. The commission’s workgroups and policy groups convened to review policy and work on implementing regulations (IRs) with forthcoming public comment.
Decisions from the 2022 spring program review meeting are available on the OPCA’s websiteopens in new window. Please see the following table for a summary of accredited programs as of April 2, 2022:
