Is the Program Director a full time faculty member in the department or unit within which the Program is housed?

Does the department or unit within which the Program is housed have at least two full time faculty members?

Has the Program been in existence for two years?

Have the faculty reviewed the Commission's Baccalaureate Level, Masters Level, and/or Doctoral Level Standards?
