Accreditation

Our faculty and staff continue to work hard to train and educate the Security Cooperation enterprise to ensure it meets the Nation’s needs. As our workforce and mission evolve, so does the quantity and quality of resident and non-resident programs offered to meet our community’s mission requirements.

To help DSCU provide the high-quality training and education that the enterprise demands, we maintain institutional accreditation through the Council on Occupational Education (COE), which provides the standards and criteria most appropriate to DSCU’s mission and the professional development needs of the workforce. Through its standards, COE assures “quality and integrity in the career and technical education” of its members in a student-focused process that aligns the University’s activities with workforce demands.

We were first awarded accreditation by COE in 2001 and were reaffirmed in 2007, 2013 and 2019, each time for the maximum possible 6 years. Our next reaffirmation is scheduled for 2025
