College Accreditation

AMCH was granted institutional accreditation through the Accreditation Commission for Homeopathic Education in North America, the accrediting agency for homeopathic programs in the United States (not an accrediting agency recognized by the US Department of Education).  The AMCH Homeopathic Practitioner Programs are accredited by ACHENA.  The Doctor of Homeopathy program is eligible for ACHENA accreditation and AMCH is currently in the process of seeking ACHENA candidacy/accreditation for this program.  However, AMCH can provide no assurance that candidacy or accreditation will be granted by ACHENA.

Types of Accreditation

There are two types of accreditation.   They are:

�         Institutional accreditation

�         Specialized, professional, or programmatic accreditation

 These two major kinds of accreditation are used for quality review, assessment, and assurance of institutions all over the world.

Institutional accreditation affirms that the college or university operates with a high level of quality in all its aspects. This type of accreditation is comprehensive and indicates that the institution has achieved quality standards in areas such as faculty, administration, curriculum, student services, and overall financial well-being.

Specialized, professional, or programmatic accreditation is a type of accreditation status that is designated for specialized departments, programs, schools, or colleges within a college or university that have already been awarded institutional accreditation.  Specialized, professional, or programmatic accreditation focuses on particular aspects of the department, program, school, or college's specified academic field of study.

Relationship Between Accreditation, Certification and Homeopathic Licensure

All doctoral students seeking homeopathic licensure as a Doctor of Homeopathy in the State of Arizona, are required to graduate from a accredited homeopathic medical school. There are no current accreditation requirements for national homeopathic certification. In the future, there are plans for national certifying bodies to require students to graduate from the ACHENA accredited institution, but this appears to be about five years away.
