BULLETIN 2020–2021 | Course Catalog University Accreditation and Memberships The University of Puget Sound is accredited by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities, 8060 165th Avenue NE, Suite 100, Redmond, WA 98052, (425) 558-4224. Accreditation of an institution of higher education by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities indicates that it meets or exceeds criteria for the assessment of institutional quality evaluated through a peer review process. An accredited college or university is one which has available the necessary resources to achieve its stated purposes through appropriate educational programs, is substantially doing so, and gives reasonable evidence that it will continue to do so in the foreseeable future. Institutional integrity is also addressed through accreditation. Accreditation by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities is not partial but applies to the institution as a whole. As such, it is not a guarantee of every course or program offered, or the competence of individual graduates. Rather, it provides reasonable assurance about the quality of opportunities available to students who attend the institution. In addition to institutional accreditation from the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities, the following programs have specialized accreditation or status. A complete statement of each program’s accreditation or special status is presented with the program listing. Chemistry by the American Chemical Society Education by the Washington State Professional Educator Standards Board Music by the National Association of Schools of Music Occupational Therapy by the Accreditation Council for Occupational Therapy Education American Occupational Therapy Association 4720 Montgomery Lane, Suite 200, Bethesda, MD 20814-3449 301.652.2682 | acoteonline.org Physical Therapy by the Commission on Accreditation for Physical Therapy Education Enrolled or prospective students wishing to review documents describing the university’s accreditation may do so in the Associate Deans’ Office, Jones Hall, Room 212.
