What is a Self-Study Application?

A self-study is a written report of the self-analysis conducted by a program to determine its strengths, plans to address its weaknesses and how well it complies with the Eligibility Requirements and Accreditation Standards. The self-analysis process should focus on program goals and outcomes. Institution administrators, program faculty, staff or preceptors, students and other appropriate constituencies should be included in the process. The self-study report provides basic information about the program for the CADE board and its reviewers.
