WASC Project

The UCR campus has been accredited since 1956. with re-accreditation occurring approximately every ten years. The Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC), UCR's regional accrediting organization, has completely redesigned its re-accreditation process to focus on student learning and efforts at institutional improvement that are based on meaningful and comprehensive data and analysis. A key element of the WASC re-accreditation effort is the establishment of links between campus strategic planning mechanisms and student learning on campus. This culture of evidence will aid in instituting and improving the excellence of the University’s programs, students, and research and learning environment.
