The process of achieving accreditation involves several steps:
Self-Study: The program conducts a self-study to evaluate its own compliance with accreditation standards. Application: The program submits an application to the accrediting body. Site Visit: An evaluation team visits the campus to assess the program in person. Review: The accrediting body reviews the findings from the site visit and the self-study report. Decision: The accrediting body makes an accreditation decision, which can result in full accreditation, conditional accreditation, or denial.
