While OIRA plays a leadership role in the Middle States Commission on Higher Education's university-wide accreditation process, it also assists academic units in their discipline-specific accreditation data reporting. OIRA staff collaborates with associate/assistant deans, department chairs, and academic program directors within schools/colleges to provide institutional student, faculty, and staff data as needed and wherever required by their programmatic accreditation organizations. For assistance with data needed for an academic program accreditation, please contact Robin Beads, OIRA Associate Director, at beads@american.edu.
