College of Applied Studies Accreditation

Our college embraces accreditation as a primary means of assuring the profession that we meet its highest standards. Accreditation serves as an essential process to ensure that our programs not only meet but exceed the rigorous standards set by the profession. Through this process, independent accrediting agencies evaluate our programs for quality, integrity, and adherence to best practices, ensuring that we produce well-prepared, competent graduates. These third-party entities provide an objective assessment, verifying that our programs maintain high standards and demonstrate an ongoing commitment to continuous improvement.
