The Commission on Accreditation (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. At the Spring 2023 program review meeting, the CoA voted to put out Implementing Regulation (IR) C-19 M for a 30-day round of public comment. This IR expands on its requirement to provide data on licensure and/or credentialing to also include employment rates.
The Section C IRs: IRs Related to the Standards of Accreditation and the Section E IRs: Self-Governance and Regulation have been approved by the CoA and are available on the master’s accreditation webpage.
In April 2023, the MAWG also hosted a self-study training for the volunteer master’s programs and review consultants that were selected to participate in the implementation of initial accreditation review.
