Specialized Program Accreditation and Approvals
In addition to maintaining our accreditation through HLC and adhering to each of our individual location’s state requirements, Antioch University (AU) has many academic programs that are accredited or approved by programmatic/specialized accreditors. These bodies conduct their own processes for ensuring that their member programs meet defined standards specific to that particular academic discipline or professional practice.
These external approvals require a range of activities that focus on the assurance of quality. Activities vary depending on the body but can include self-studies, assessment and reflection, peer reviews, and/or site visits. Programs may be reviewed for curricular currency, course content preparation of graduates with necessary professional competencies, and student satisfaction levels, as well as other types of student outcomes like retention and graduation as well as internship placement rates. Most accreditors provide manuals or guides to their own requirements.
Also, all programs that lead to teacher certification/licensure must meet standards in the state in which they operate and are subject to that state’s oversight and regular review. Many other AU programs belong to professional associations. While not rising to the level of accreditation, these affiliations contribute to fostering best practices and honing the currency of academic offerings.
