NEW this year is the pre-conference session: The Added Value of Accreditation and the Nuts and Bolts of Becoming Accredited

This half-day meeting on Wednesday afternoon will  be a deep-dive into the nuts and bolts of obtaining the highly-regarded seal of accreditation from the Middle States Association or from Western Association of Schools and Colleges, two major organizations with whom EIA has special arrangements. There is a $125.00 per person fee to participate in this skills-building seminar that will include an overview of the self study process and the  essential components of the self study.  Participants will have the opportunity to reflect on  how  the accreditation process can be best suited to their educational institution. They will gain knowledge of the accreditation process, become familiar with the various roles and responsibilities associated with undertaking a self study, and take back an understanding of how to initiate or continue the accreditation process with their organization.
