Schools are evaluated for how well they are achieving their mission, evaluation, planning and educational program goals, as well as their governance, resources, facilities, research, practice, faculty and students.

 

Ostrow was most recently fully accredited in 2023. The next comprehensive site visit is scheduled for 2030.

 

Any enrolled student who believes that a program may not be in compliance with standards or procedures may file a complaint with CODA. Prior to filing a complaint, students are encouraged to seek information and answers to questions through Ostrow. Complaints received by enrolled students are kept on file.
