Specialized Accreditation
OSPIE supports specialized accreditation of the institution’s degree programs. Department Chairs and Deans work with the Vice Provost for OSPIE from the initial stages of planning including identification of resources. All accreditation documents are submitted first to OSPIE for approval before off-campus submission, and OSPIE needs at least ten business days to approve compliance reports (self-study).
