CEPH Re-Accreditation 2012-13

The Council on Education in Public Health (CEPH) accredits schools and colleges of public health in the United States. As part of the process, CEPH requires that the accredited schools undergo a self-study at the end of a seven-year accreditation period. This self-study is reviewed by an external committee, and this committee determines whether the school should continue to be accredited. The UW School of Public Health is currently undergoing this process. In 2006, CEPH voted to renew their accreditation of the School for another seven year term, ending in 2013.
