What We Do
The Office of Academic Review, Assessment & Accreditation (OAPRAA) navigates evolving policies, initiatives and institutional data to maintain Vanderbilt's 100-year history of peer-reviewed accreditation, ensuring continued eligibility for federal funding.
Alongside accreditation work, OAPRAA's areas of responsibility include:
- Facilitating the PCCAP process to add, close, or otherwise significantly change an academic program
- Annually assessing outcomes of Academic Programs and Student Service Units
- Conducting Internal Audits and constructing Five-Year & Decennial reports as required of our regional accreditor, SACSCOC
- Supporting the Office of the Provost in conducting External Reviews
Have Questions?
OAPRAA team members will guide you through the accrediting processes and work with you to meet the different institutional requirements our office facilitates. Please email with questions or to schedule a meeting with us.
