Accreditation Review Committee
The Accreditation Review Committee was established by the SJSU Academic Senate in 2016.
The committee's key responsibilities include:
- Fostering campus engagement in re-accreditation activities,
- Encouraging continuous improvement focused on student learning, and
- Leading the campus in preparing for accreditation review.
San José State University (SJSU) is accredited by the WASC Senior College and University Commission (WSCUC), an accrediting agency serving higher education institutions throughout the U.S. and around the world, with most institutions historically in California, Hawaii, and the Pacific region.
The Commission serves to ensure success for all students by assisting institutions in developing and sustaining effective educational programs and assuring the educational community, parents, students, employers and the public that the institution meets the high standards of quality and effectiveness.
Accreditation is also necessary for participation in Title IV federal funding and state financial aid programs.
The WSCUC Institutional Directory provides additional information related to SJSU's accreditation.
Programmatic (Specialized) Accreditation
Several SJSU programs are accredited by professional specialized accreditation organizations.
