        About Sanford-Brown College – Cleveland

        Accreditation is a voluntary process which may be undertaken by schools to demonstrate compliance with specific standards designed to indicate a level of education quality.

        Institutional Accreditation

        Sanford-Brown Institute - Monroeville and Sanford-Brown Institute – Pittsburgh are institutionally accredited by the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools of Colleges (ACCSC), an independent accrediting agency recognized by the United States Department of Education (DOE). This indicates that Sanford-Brown Institute - Monroeville and Sanford-Brown Institute – Pittsburgh substantially meets or exceeds the stated criteria of education quality established by ACCSC and approved by the DOE. This recognition of institutional accreditation by ACCSC entitles SBI to offer Title IV Financial Assistance to students who qualify.

        All remaining Sanford-Brown schools are institutionally accredited (accredited in total) by the Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools (ACICS), a national accrediting agency recognized by the United States Department of Education (DOE) and the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA). This indicates that these schools substantially meet or exceed the stated criteria of education quality established by ACICS, and approved by the DOE and CHEA. This recognition of institutional accreditation by ACICS entitles SBC to offer Title IV Financial Assistance to students who qualify.

        Accreditation is a voluntary process which may be undertaken by schools to demonstrate compliance with specific standards designed to indicate a level of education quality. Each campus has been approved by its respective Institutional Accreditor to offer all of its currently available programs.

        Programmatic Accreditation

        An additional form of accreditation that a school may undertake to obtain is a specific, individual accreditation of certain programs (programmatic accreditation). Institutional accreditation is not the same as or a substitution for programmatic accreditation. Although programmatic accreditation is not required for employment in many cases, the existence of programmatic accreditation is a further indication that a program meets the standards of the profession, and may therefore indirectly enhance employment opportunities. Also, in some cases, programmatic accreditation will allow the graduates of the accredited program to sit for some credentialing exams immediately upon graduation without any requirement of work experience.

        It is important to understand what accreditation is and why it is important to Sanford-Brown. The goal of accreditation is to ensure that the education provided by institutions of higher education meets acceptable levels of quality. DOE recognized accrediting agencies have adopted criteria reflecting the qualities of a sound educational program and have developed procedures for evaluating institutions or programs to determine whether or not they meet these criteria. The standards by which institutions or programs are measured have been developed by subject matter experts and are intended to include what is critical for students to learn in order to successfully pursue a given profession. Having this kind of oversight and ensuring compliance with stated standards is essential to maintaining quality for students. Institutional Accreditation measures the entire operations of a given campus. Programmatic accreditation evaluates the components of a given academic program. Sanford-Brown is committed to offering programs that live up to these standards so that we can help provide qualified and prepared graduates in the field of healthcare. We understand that accreditation is not merely a recognition granted once an institution or program is in substantial compliance with the stated standards, but is a privilege that we must continue to earn through disciplined actions and quality instruction.

        Broadly, across our Sanford-Brown campuses, over 60 programs are currently programmatically accredited. Some accrediting agencies require that a new program graduate its first class before the program is eligible for programmatic accreditation but we strive to run our programs according to the standards of our relevant programmatic accreditors and are committed to seeking programmatic accreditation for our eligible programs. This includes not starting the first class until the clinical site requirement is formally demonstrated, not over seating classes, ensuring the self study process is part of the educational plan and making certain that the curriculum, facility, equipment, staff and leadership meet the programmatic accreditation requirements.

        Sanford-Brown Career Training Programs – State Licensure and Registration

        The following licensure and registration requirements are controlled by the individual states where Sanford-Brown career training programs are offered and are subject to change without notice.

        Advanced Massage Therapy

        The state of Ohio requires massage therapists to be licensed in order to practice in the state. State licensure requires passage of a state licensing exam. SBC does not control state licensure in Ohio or in any other state, and cannot guarantee that graduates will be eligible to work as massage therapists in Ohio or any other state, at all or at any specific time, regardless of their eligibility status upon enrollment.

        Pharmacy Technology

        The state of Ohio does not require pharmacy technicians to be registered/licensed or PTCB-certified in order to practice in the state. However, PTCB certification and/or state licensure/registration may be required to practice in other states. SBC does not control state licensure/registration requirements in Ohio or in any other state, and cannot guarantee that graduates will be eligible to work as pharmacy technicians in Ohio or any other state, at all or at any specific time, regardless of their eligibility status upon enrollment. 

        Radiography

        In Ohio, radiographers are required to carry a state license in order to practice. Since the SBC Radiography program is approved by the Ohio Department of Health, graduates of the Radiography program are eligible to apply for the state radiographer license examination without being ARRT certified. All state licensure/registration requirements are controlled by the individual states and are subject to change without notice to SBC. Therefore, SBC cannot guarantee that graduates will be eligible to work as a radiographer in Ohio or in any other state without ARRT certification and/or a state license/registration, at all or at any specific time, regardless of their eligibility status upon enrollment.
