WASC accreditation process

The WASC (Western Association of Schools and Colleges) accreditation process is a comprehensive review to ensure educational institutions meet high standards of quality. Schools or colleges prepare detailed self-assessment reports, demonstrating their programs, governance, and student support systems. WASC then conducts peer reviews, which may include site visits and evaluations. After this process, they determine if the institution meets their standards, granting accreditation if successful. This accreditation verifies the institution’s credibility, encourages continuous improvement, and assures students and stakeholders of a quality educational environment.
