Seeking Accreditation For Students For Site Visitors


LATEST UPDATES

Which Accreditation Standards Should Your Program Use?

For reaccreditation—The new NASPAA Standards will be piloted by a small group of programs seeking reaccreditation in 2010. All other programs seeking reaccreditation in 2010 will use the current (“old”) NASPAA Standards (2010 application for reaccreditation). In 2011 and beyond, all programs seeking reaccreditation will use the new Standards.

For new applicants—All new applicants in 2010 and beyond will use the new NASPAA Standards. All new applicants will also participate in a year-long Eligibility process prior to submitting their first Self Study report. The first Eligibility applications will be reviewed starting in August 2010.

If you have questions about your specific situation, please contact the NASPAA office for details on the requirements.
