Programmatic or Specialized Accreditation
Programmatic or specialized accreditation of educational programs, departments or schools, is granted by a number of national organizations. Many programs at University of Idaho have specialized accreditation.
The Specialized Accreditation Checklist outlines the process and timeline to ensure you obtain review of all specialized accreditation reports and follow-up correspondence by the provost's office. Review is required regardless of whether the president's or provost's signature is needed. Instructions for securing participation of the president, provost and/or vice provost for academic initiatives (VPAI) are noted on the checklist.
