2022 Action Statement

COPRA is pleased to release its 2022 Accreditation Action Statement, the complete list of actions taken at its June 2022 meeting.

The 2022 Action Statement includes the following six programs that were accredited for the first time:

  • Master of Public Policy at Duke University (USA)
  • Master of Public Administration at Northern Arizona University (USA)
  • Master of Public Administration at Pace University (USA)
  • Master of Public Policy at Universidad Iberoamericana (Mexico)
  • Master of Public Administration at University of Guam (USA)
  • Master of Public Policy at University of Houston, Hobby School (USA)

The 2022 Action Statement is continued evidence of COPRA and the Executive Council’s commitment to transparency and accountability in the accreditation review. These values already define the accreditation process, and COPRA continues to seek to better meet the accountability needs of its community - accredited programs and their stakeholders - as it balances student, faculty, and employer desires to know about program and student outcomes, with the need for programmatic growth, due process, and privacy.

Please join us in congratulating all newly accredited and reaccredited programs!

Stay tuned for the September 1 release of the 2022-2023 Roster of Accredited Programs.
