Accreditation Reform Compliance
In 2020, the U.S. Department of Education issued regulatory reforms eliminating the historical distinction between regional and national accreditation. Under the new standards, institutions are identified simply as “Institutionally Accredited” or “Programmatically Accredited,” without regional or national qualifiers. USILACS is fully aligned with these reforms and maintains full institutional accreditation in accordance with federal definitions.
