CASTINE, Maine\u2014Maine Maritime Academy President William J. Brennan announced today that the college\u2019s online Master of Science in International Logistics Management has achieved full accreditation status through the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC). It is the first accreditation of an online degree program for Maine Maritime Academy and the Loeb-Sullivan School.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cExternal validation is a critical achievement for our online graduate logistics program,\u201d said Vice President for Academic Affairs, David Gardner, Ph.D. \u201cOur students are working professionals whose employers will often reimburse tuition costs only for an accredited program.\u201d<\/p>\n

Associate Dean of the Loeb-Sullivan School of International Business and Logistics, Donald Maier, Ph.D., added, \u201cThis is a perfect program for working people, and the only program of its kind in the Northeast. We\u2019re currently serving students from Maine, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and Texas, and we have a Turkish student enrolled who is working in Brazil,\u201d he said. \u201cSince trade is global, delivering our curriculum to students wherever they\u2019re working is essential, and accreditation better positions our program among others worldwide.\u201d The accreditation review took about one year to complete, and included data collection, policy and procedure audits, and curriculum assessment.<\/p>\n

According to NEASC, accreditation relies on voluntary, peer-review and self-study processes, undertaken by schools and colleges in regular review cycles. The goals are effectiveness, improvement and public assurance. Founded in 1885, the New England Association of Schools & Colleges, Inc., is the nation\u2019s oldest accrediting association, serving more than 2,000 public and independent schools, colleges and universities in the six states of Massachusetts, Connecticut, Maine, Rhode Island, New Hampshire and Vermont and American\/international schools in more than sixty-five nations worldwide.
