Accreditation Process

The VCU School of Public Health is an applicant for accreditation with CEPH, the Council on Accreditation for Public Health. The accreditation team anticipates completing our self-study in February 2026 and is tentatively planning to hold our accreditation site visit in October 2026. All planned dates are estimates and are subject to change.

VCU's Master of Public Health (MPH) degree, first accredited as a public health program by CEPH in 1996, is accredited through July 1, 2030. The MPH degree including concentrations in Applied Public Health, Cancer Health Equity Science, and Epidemiology, remain accredited as a program while the School of Public Health moves through the self-study process.
