Two programs earn accreditation
The Longwood Center for the Visual Arts (LCVA) and the graduate program in Communication Sciences and Disorders (CSDS) received national recognition in November 2010.
The LCVA was accredited by the American Association of Museums (AAM), joining the ranks of museums like the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in Richmond, the Chrysler Museum of Art in Norfolk and the University of Virginia Art Museum. AAM accreditation is a seal of approval for LCVA’s high professional standards and dedication to public service. Across the country, only 4.5 percent of all museums are accredited.
The graduate CSDS program earned accreditation from the American Speech-Language Hearing Association, becoming the sixth graduate program in Virginia to do so. Graduates of the program, approved in 2005, are working in public schools, hospitals, nursing facilities and with home health providers throughout Virginia and the East Coast.
