There are two primary pathways available: Standard and Open. An institution can choose their pathway after the completion of its 10-year cycle as long as they meet the criteria for the given pathway. OSU is currently part of the Open Pathway for accreditation and will reach Year 10 (Comprehensive Evaluation for Reaffirmation) in 2025-2026. The following chart provides more information about the Open Pathway.
