Program Accreditations and Credentialing
Individual academic programs may hold specialized accreditation by discipline-specific organizations or have credentialing authorization through State agencies. Programs must meet established criteria and performance standards in order to receive specialized accreditation or credentialing authorization. Programmatic accreditation is a reflection of a program’s integrity and alignment with recognized quality standards. Periodic review and re-accreditation of individual programs occurs independently from, but contingent upon, the regional accreditation of the institution. LSSU participates with the programmatic accreditation or authorizing agencies listed below. Learn more about: national vs regional accreditation.
