K-State English Language Program Accredited
The recent accreditation of the English Language Program by the Commission on English Language Program Accreditation capped a lengthy process that began about three years ago. The main significance of the accreditation stems from its indication that students are guaranteed a quality education.
“We have standards that are recognized throughout the world so that students can expect a certain level of instruction,” said Beverly Earles, associate director of international programs. Leena Chakrabarti, assistant director of international programs, said the program had been in line with the majority of the requirements before accreditation, but much of the work had not been catalogued yet.
“It was more organizing, and it was actually beneficial because it came at a time when the program was just starting to experience some growth,” said Mary Wood, program director.
