The graduate program in Organizational Leadership is accredited by the International Assembly of Collegiate Business Education (IACBE) whose mission is: “To promote and support quality Business Education worldwide through accreditation and outcomes assessment which involves: 1) the measurement of institutional effectiveness; 2) the measurement of learning outcomes and 3) the identification of changes and improvements that are needed as a result of the assessment activity.” The Accreditation Review Commission on Education for the Physican Assistant, Inc. (ARC-PA) has granted Accreditation-Continued status to the Mercyhurst University Physician Assistant Program sponsored by Mercyhurst University. Accreditation-Continued is an accreditation status granted when a currently accredited program is in compliance with the ARC-PA Standards. Accreditation remains in effect until the program closes or withdraws from the accreditation process or until accreditation is withdrawn for failure to comply with the Standards. The approximate date for the next validation review of the program by the ARC-PA will be June 2029. The review date is contingent upon continued compliance with the Accreditation Standards and ARC-PA policy.
