Eligibility Standards 1–6

When the program applied for candidacy it submitted a Candidacy Eligibility Application and Authorization of Program Review form. The Candidacy Eligibility Application required the program to address six eligibility standards. To determine eligibility for initial accreditation, the
program is required to review the six eligibility standards it addressed in the Candidacy Eligibility Application for changes that may have occurred. If there have been any changes, the program must submit updated Candidacy Eligibility Application and Authorization of Program Review forms.

Eligibility Standard 7

Eligibility Standard 8
