College of the North Atlantic (CNA) has received international accreditation for all its Business Administration and Business Management offerings throughout the province. The programs received accreditation from the Association of Collegiate Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP).
Campuses offering business programming are; Bay St. George, St. Anthony, Port aux Basques, Grand Falls-Windsor, Burin, Carbonear, Bonavista, Prince Philip Drive, Corner Brook, CNA-Q, Clarenville and Baie Verte. The accreditation also includes business programs offered through the Distributed Learning Service (DLS).
ACBSP is the leading specialized accreditation association for business education supporting, celebrating, and rewarding teaching excellence. The association develops, promotes, and recognizes best practices that contribute to continuous improvement of business education and accredits qualified business programs.
The accreditation will benefit students with transferability of course and program credits and ability to reference the completion of an accredited program on a resume and in job interviews.
This accreditation not only reinforces both CNA’s commitment to continuous improvement and student learning, but also reinforces the quality of teaching.
Mary Vaughan, Dean of the School of Business and Information Technology, considers this accreditation to be another step in CNA’s commitment to quality education.
“The accreditation process was one of internal reflection on our business programs that enabled us to highlight the various strengths we have to offer our learners. The validation of these strengths by the external accreditation team assures to the community and our learners that we are delivering quality education.”
