ACCREDITATION



Accreditation is a status granted to an educational institution or program that meets or exceeds established criteria of educational quality and student achievement. Accreditation by the Commission of the Council on Occupational Education (COE), is recognized as a nationally-honored seal of excellence for occupational education institutions, denoting honesty and integrity.

Earning COE accreditation is a remarkable and celebrated recognition, but it is only the first step for institutions dedicated to demonstrating continued academic excellence. The time and resources required to maintain accreditation are substantial. For example, an accredited institution must submit an annual report to show compliance with COE standards and criteria. Also, every program must have an advisory committee that meets at least twice a year to document curriculum changes, analyze academically pertinent statistics, and assess student and faculty surveys.

The Defense Equal Opportunity Management Institute has maintained its accreditation with the Council since 1983. In 2023, the Council’s President and CEO, Dr. Kirk Nooks, formally recognized DEOMI for achieving 40 years of continual accreditation during the Council’s annual meeting in Atlanta, Georgia. An article on this milestone achievement was published in our first quarter 2024 newsletter. (Click here to read the article)

On Sept. 13, 2024, the Commission reaffirmed DEOMI’s accreditation. The institute’s next reaffirmation is scheduled to take place six years from now, in 2030.
