NASPAA’s
Commission on Peer Review and Accreditation has established a logo
for use by programs that have met accreditation standards. The
logo publicly recognizes a program’s commitment to peer review
and quality improvement, and NASPAA encourages accredited
programs’ use of the logo on websites and marketing materials
subject to its guidelines for use.
GUIDELINES
FOR USE OF ACCREDITATION LOGO
Masters
programs in public
affairs, policy and administration
that have achieved NASPAA
accreditation will now have a simple and easily recognized way of
communicating that information. COPRA asks that programs follow
these guidelines for use:
- The logo
may be used by any accredited program subject to the general
definitions of being in good accreditation standing outlined
in the NASPAA Official Documents, "Peer Review and
Accreditation Policy and Procedures," sections 2.0 and
12.1. Applicants and newly accredited programs may begin using
the logo as soon as they receive their formal notification of
accreditation from COPRA.
- The
entire logo should be used, including the words "NASPAA
Accredited" and "The Commission on Peer Review and
Accreditation".
- The logo
may be reduced or enlarged to suit the use, but the scale of
the elements should be retained.
- The logo
may be reproduced in black and white, or in color. If color is
used, please use only the set of colors contained in the logo
files provided by NASPAA (or a reasonable approximation).
- The logo
may be used on official stationery, fax cover pages, marketing
materials, and websites. But all marketing materials and
accompanying text should make it clear that the accreditation
is only for the specific masters degrees for which the program
received the accreditation, not the entire school or
university. If you are in doubt about the acceptability of a
particular use, please contact NASPAA at copra@naspaa.org
for clarification.
