Accreditations: 

Assessments of discipline-specific programs are conducted by outside accrediting bodies comprised of experts in the field.  These experts outside of UD visit campus; interview faculty, students, staff, and administrators; study UD's background statistics about the programs; and provide feedback based on their observations.  A program receiving accreditation is an indication of students succeeding in that program.
