Accreditation
This program is preliminary approval.
Newest program: inaugural class began Aug 2025. Preliminary Approval continued June 2026; next ACOE visit spring 2027. No board or attrition data exist yet.
A program in preliminary approval is expected to reach full accreditation before its first class graduates, but it has not yet, and that is a real difference from a fully accredited program.
