The accreditation process generally involves several steps:
Self-Study Report: The program conducts an internal review and prepares a report detailing how it meets accreditation standards. Site Visit: Accrediting body representatives visit the institution to verify the information in the self-study report and assess the program in person. Evaluation and Decision: The accrediting body reviews all collected information and makes a decision regarding accreditation status. Continuous Review: Accredited programs are subject to periodic reviews to ensure ongoing compliance with standards.
