The Commission on Accreditation (CoA) held its summer 2022 program review meeting from July 13-16, 2022. In the CoA's review of programs during this meeting, decisions were made on 67 programs including 15 applicant programs that were awarded an initial accredited status.
As a result of travel restrictions consequent to the covid-19 pandemic, all of these applicant programs participated in a virtual site visit as part of the accreditation application process. All programs that underwent or will undergo a virtual site visit must have an in-person verification visit when it is safe to do so. These programs will receive notice when decisions are made regarding approving and scheduling the required on-site verification visit.
The commission's work groups and policy groups convened to review and develop policy as well as work on policy matters including implementing regulations with forthcoming public comment or public notice periods and items needed to support the development of master’s accreditation .
