The Commission on Accreditation held its fall 2022 program review meeting from October 26-29, 2022. In the CoA's review of programs during this meeting, decisions were made on 54 programs including 1 applicant program that was awarded an initial accredited status, as well as 126 interim reports submitted by programs. Some of the programs reviewed underwent a virtual site visit while others completed an in-person site visit. Programs that underwent a virtual site visit will host a verification visit for onsite inspection in the future.
The commission’s work groups and policy panels convened during the meeting to review and develop policy matters including implementing regulations with forthcoming public comment or public notice periods and items needed to support the development of master’s accreditation.
