Programs Applying for Initial Accreditation
Updated May 2025
The following “Applicants” lists indicate receipt of self-studies and required payment, signaling voluntary application for initial accreditation by the programs noted. These lists reflect programs currently undergoing the review process. Programs that have received a final accreditation decision are moved to the “Accredited” list while programs that have withdrawn from the accreditation process are moved to the “Programs Voluntarily Withdrawing their Application” list. Programs on the “Accredited” list and the “Programs Voluntarily Withdrawing their Application” list will be removed from their respective list one calendar year after the change in status.
Programs are listed alphabetically below by type (doctoral, internship, postdoctoral). The “application received” date in the tables below reflects the date when a program’s submission is complete (i.e., receipt of both the self-study and required fees).
