Every seven years the Bloomberg School of Public Health is evaluated by the Council on Education for Public Health (CEPH), the independent accrediting agency for US Schools of Public Health. The accreditation site visit is scheduled for October 11-13, 2006. The evaluation is based, in part, on a self-study of the academic, research, service, governance, and other components of the School. Historically the self-study report has served as the basis for the School's strategic planning. A steering committee, comprised of faculty, staff, students, alumni, and community representatives, is responsible for the accreditation process, including the self-study report, which is posted below. Each chapter addresses one of the accreditation criteria. Please email comments or questions about the self-report or the accreditation process by clicking accredit@jhsph.edu. |
CEPH's objectives are to: - Promote quality in public health education through a continuing process of self-evaluation by the schools and programs that seek accreditation
- Assure the public that institutions offering graduate instruction in public health have been evaluated and judged to meet standards essential for the conduct of such educational programs
- Encourage - through periodic review, consultation, research, publications, and other means - improvements in the quality of education for public health
Information about CEPH is available at http://www.ceph.org. The Bloomberg School of Public Health follows the accreditation criteria amended January 2002.
