The CoA Master’s Accreditation Work Group (MAWG) has been making progress on policy documents and developing procedures and processes for the accreditation of master’s programs. In December of 2022, Implementing Regulation (IR) C-7 M was put out for a 60-day period of public comment. This IR provides specifications to the discipline-specific knowledge categories of basic content areas in scientific knowledge and research and psychometrics in the SoA-M's Standard II.B.1.a. The CoA is currently reviewing the public comment received.
In December of 2022, the MAWG also put out a call for master’s degree programs in Health Service Psychology practice areas to apply for accreditation as part of a limited initial master’s accreditation review process starting in 2023. Additionally, the work group put out a call for volunteer consultants who will provide expertise that will inform the Commission during the initial process of master’s degree program accreditation. These programs and consultants have been selected and will help lead the effort in accrediting master’s programs.
