We believe that you deserve an excellent university experience, and that’s why we maintain standards in education. We prove our dedication to these values, in part, by submitting to accreditation standards.

Approval and accreditation materials are available for review at the President’s Office at any time and are posted in our main lobby. Please contact Student Outreach (602.384.2555) to schedule either an in-person or online approval review meeting.
