that have been accredited for more than 10 years. As part of the Pathway's 10-year
cycle, we will demonstrate a dedication to quality and improvement through submission
of an assurance filing in year four (2025), engagement in a quality initiative project
of our choosing during years five through nine, and another comprehensive evaluation
for reaffirmation of accreditation in the academic year 2031-32.
