COPRA Releases 2025 Accreditation Action Statement

COPRA is pleased to release its 2025 Accreditation Action Statement, the complete list of actions taken at its June 2025 meeting. 

The 2025 Action Statement includes the following program that has been accredited for the first time:

● Master of Arts in Public Policy and Management at City University of Hong Kong (Hong Kong) 

● Master of Public Policy at Hamad Bin Khalifa University (Qatar) 

● Master of Public Management at Universidad de los Andes (Colombia) 

● Master of Public Policy at The University of Iowa (USA) 

● Master of Public and Nonprofit Administration at SUNY Buffalo State (USA)

The 2025 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 2025-2026 Roster of Accredited Programs.
