CEPH Accreditation Third-Party Comment Period Now

The University of San Francisco, School of Nursing and Health Professions will host the Council of Education for Public Health (CEPH; https://ceph.org/) from Dec 7-8, 2026, when CEPH conducts its reaccreditation site visit for our baccalaureate and master’s public health programs. In accordance with CEPH’s procedures, the council provides the opportunity for program constituents and other interested parties to submit, in writing, third-party comments concerning a program’s qualifications for accreditation. Third-party comments regarding programs hosting evaluations must be received by CCNE by no later than 30 calendar days before the scheduled site visit and therefore, by Sept 7, 2026.

Third-party comments must relate to the CEPH Accreditation Criteria for Schools of Public Health & Public Health Programs (2024). The third-party comment process allows for any interested party to provide feedback directly to CEPH to inform the accreditation review of the USF public health programs. CEPH does not share this feedback with the USF public health programs. CEPH shares all third-party comments with the site visit team for their consideration when assessing the accreditation criteria. All public comments must be submitted directly to CEPH and only by the following address: submissions@ceph.org.
