The University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences is proud of the achievement of its students and the success of its programs. The University has internal processes for assessing student learning and program success, and it adheres to standards and assessment processes established by accrediting bodies at the institutional and program levels.
The University holds institutional accreditation from the WASC Senior College and University Commission and various programmatic accreditations including the Commission on Accreditation in Physical Therapy Education (CAPTE) and the Accreditation Council for Occupational Therapy Education (ACOTE).
The various accreditors sometimes have different requirements for data reporting. For example, some accreditors require data calculated for a calendar year, while others require it calculated on an academic calendar; some calculate graduation rates on 100% of expected completion time, while others use a 150%-time frame. To be transparent, data presented on the USAHS website includes information on how data points are calculated to contextualize the information. Any questions should be directed to the University’s Office of Assessment and Institutional Research at oair@usa.edu.
