How Long is the Accreditation Process?
On average, a school accreditation process takes about 24 months once the initial application is submitted, assuming the institution fully complies with the chosen accreditor eligibility requirements and can complete the accreditation milestones without delays. Some accrediting agencies have a longer accreditation process. Refer to your chosen accreditor's website for their specific cycle.
