University Accreditation (WASC)
The Western
Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) is one of six regional associations
that accredit public and private schools, colleges, and universities in the
United States. The Western region covers institutions in California and Hawaii,
the territories of Guam, American Samoa, Federated States of Micronesia,
Republic of Palau, Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas Islands, the Pacific
Basin, and East Asia, and areas of the Pacific and East Asia where
American/International schools or colleges may apply to it for service. The accrediting activities of WASC for SJSU
are conducted by the Accrediting Commission for Senior Colleges and
Universities.
In addition to assessing the
academic quality and educational effectiveness of institutions, the Commission emphasizes institutional structures, processes, and
resources.
The SJSU WASC website contains extensive
information about the participation of SJSU in its WASC
accreditation.
