Program Accreditations

Program Accreditations, also known as Specialized Accreditations, are provided by external professional agencies that evaluate programs and degrees for the College. These specialized accreditations are both discipline-based and associated with national professional associations and state licensing.

In addition to program-level accreditations, Dunwoody is accredited at the institutional level by the Higher Learning Commission. Although these accreditations are separate, the HLC does recognize the standards set by professional bodies and in determining whether an institution meets HLC requirements, HLC may consider the reports, action letters and information of other recognized accreditors previously or currently associated with the institution (See Relations With Other Accrediting Agencies (COMM.C.10.020) | Policies (hlcommission.org)
