The NIAAA is the first athletic administration association to offer professional development accredited by Cognia—giving our program the same pedigree as Career, Technical and Post-Secondary Institutions.
Being awarded a mark of quality and distinction through Cognia’s ongoing review process demonstrates our ability to meet and exceed national and international standards of excellence.
Through accountability, continuous self-study and assessment, we are committed to continuous improvement and quality assurance of our programs and professional development services.
Cognia’s accreditation status is granted for five years. Our initial accreditation was granted in 2011 and has been renewed every five years since following Cognia’s annual and five-year reviews.
Earning Cognia’s accreditation has had significant positive implications for the NIAAA, our members, our state associations and our University Program partners.
It is an achievement that we are extremely proud of and an accomplishment that is owned by every member of the NIAAA.
