February 2021 Accreditation Action: Grant seven years of Initial Accreditation with a Progress Report. The program remains non-compliant with the following 2018 Standards:
Standard 4. Program Goals. The Advisory Committee goal and target outcome require further revision. The Advisory Committee goal as stated in the revised PEP is an accreditation requirement, not a goal. The target outcome needs more specificity.
