SAN DIEGO – San Diego Continuing Education received notification today that the Western Association of Schools and Colleges has granted reaffirmation of its accreditation for a six year term, ending June 30, 2017. The reaffirmation is the highest level of accreditation recognition an institution can receive.

“Maintaining accreditation is extremely important because it validates the high level of instruction and service students can expect to receive when they come to our institution,” said Anthony E. Beebe, Ed.D., President of San Diego Continuing Education.

For the past several years, a San Diego Continuing Education leadership team conducted a self study of the organization and prepared many reports for the accrediting commission and visiting team of reviewers.

San Diego Continuing Education has maintained accreditation since 1983, but this was the most positive and successful review in the institution’s history. Continuing Education expects to receive the official written notification from WASC before the end of this month.

“Congratulations to every faculty, administrator and staff who contributed to the successful reaffirmation of our accreditation,” said Dr. Beebe.“Our accreditation is their accreditation because it is their dedication and commitment that helps students reach their educational goals.”
