At the end of a program’s 4 years or 8 years of initial accreditation the Commission on Accreditation (COA) reviews the program for reaffirmation of accreditation. If the program is found in compliance with all Educational Policy and Accreditation Standards (EPAS), its accreditation will be reaffirmed for 8 years. The COA will continue to review the program for reaffirmation of accreditation every 8 years.
