The ARC is responsible for comprehensive reviews of programs seeking CASCE accreditation. Members of the ARC synthesize data and information contained in a program’s self-study, site visit report, program response, and progress report to determine compliance with the CASCE Professional Standards and Guidelines. The ARC also makes recommendations to the CASCE Board of Directors regarding accreditation action.

This group is responsible for review related to the professional standards and guidelines for clarification and to make recommendations to the CASCE BOD related to standard language, revisions, glossary, etc. The Standards Committee will bring forward suggestions after receiving public comment on proposed changes and work closely with the ARC, stakeholders, and staff to gather data on standards that are new, unclear, or challenging.
