CSU, Chico Receives Outstanding Marks from Accrediting Body
California State University, Chico has been reaccredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) for 10 years, an exceptionally long period of reaccreditation that represents a major affirmation of the University and its programs and initiatives.
Official word of the 10-year reaccreditation came in a June 26 letter to CSU, Chico President Paul Zingg from WASC President and Executive Director Ralph Wolff. A team of higher education administrators from five U.S. universities visited CSU, Chico in March on behalf of WASC as part of the final phase of a multi-year reaccreditation process.
“Less than five percent of institutions seeking re-accreditation are reaffirmed for the maximum period of time, that is, 10 years,” said Zingg. “In fact, this period of re-affirmation has become even rarer in recent years as WASC has gone to a two-stage process that makes the reviews more, not less, demanding. But the maximum re-accreditation award means that Chico State has been judged as exemplary at all levels of the review and that we stand as a model for other institutions in our region.”
The complete news release is available online.
