The LSUHSC-NO School of Public Health is currently conducting their Council on Education
for Public Health accreditation review process. We are drafting our self-study in
anticipation for our site visit March 4-6, 2026. Comments can be submitted until
30 days before the scheduled site visit. We are inviting comments from any interested
party to provide feedback directly to CEPH to inform the accreditation review. CEPH
does not share this feedback with the unit. CEPH shares all third-party comments with
the site visit team for their consideration when assessing the criteria. Comments
must be submitted directly to CEPH via the email address submissions@ceph.org

The Council on Education for Public Health (CEPH) accredits schools and programs of public health in the United States. As a part of the process CEPH conducts a full review that includes a self-study. An external committee uses the self-study and a site visit to then further make recommendations to the CEPH Board of Councilors on accreditation.
The accreditation term extends until July 1, 2026, pending the school’s continued
documentation of compliance through the interim report, annual reporting, and any
other reporting required by the Council.
The Louisiana Board of Regents recognizes accrediting agencies that it considers as mandatory, recommended, or optional for eligible programs offered by two- and four-year institutions of higher education and the Louisiana Technical College. A program that is eligible for accreditation by an agency that is considered mandatory must be accredited for continued program approval. The Louisiana Board of Regents encourages institutions to obtain accreditation of programs that are eligible for accreditation by an agency that it recommends, but the accreditation is not essential for continued program approval.
