Deep Springs received notice that our accreditation standing from the Western Association of Schools and Colleges has been fully renewed through 2017. The affirmation follows an on-campus survey in March conducted by a visiting team for the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges, a survey which included thorough review of the college’s 1,400 page self-study report developed over the previous two years. Among other findings, Deep Springs received commendation “for a mission statement that not only defines but drives the institution’s broad educational purposes, its intended student population, and its commitment to achieving student learning.”
