Accrediting Committee

The members of the Accrediting Committee meet once a year to review the reports of on-site observations submitted by site visit teams. The Committee examines the reports thoroughly and makes recommendations for accrediting actions. The recommendations are forwarded to the Accrediting Council, which makes all final accrediting decisions.

The Accrediting Committee has 15 members. Eight are educators and seven represent the industry. ACEJMC Bylaws stipulate that a majority of the Committee's members shall be educators. The Accrediting Council President serves as an ex-officio voting member of the Committee.
