CIAT Authorized States

CIAT maintains authorization to offer its programs across all states where such approval is required. In certain jurisdictions, CIAT operates under an exempt status according to local regulations. Our institution is proudly accredited by both ACCET and the WASC Senior College and University Commission (WSCUC).

The approval status may be one of 4 options:

  • Institutional

    CIAT has been approved as an institution along with all programs that are offered

  • Programmatic Approval

    CIAT must have each program approved by the state (some programs many not be approved in all states)

  • Exempt

    All programs are available as the state has allowed us an exemption from state authorization requirements

  • Pending Authorization

    CIAT has submitted an application or is actively working with the state toward approval; until authorization is granted, no enrollment or recruitment of students in this state is permitted.
