èƽ Wins Candidacy Status
October 31, 2014
A Special Note From èƽ’s President
All,
On December 1, 2010, the Board of Trustees of the New England Association of Schools and Colleges voted to grant èƽ candidacy status for accreditation.
èƽ is the first school in the world to offer a PhD in philosophy to visual artists. Our worldwide residencies and renowned international faculty make èƽ a truly global institution of higher education.
We are proud–of our faculty, of our staff and board members, and especially proud of our students. At the end of the day, it was the quality of our students that convinced the NEASC trustees of èƽ’s unique role in developing first-rate innovative education for the 21st century.
The NEASC decision means that èƽ can now apply for federally guaranteed student loan eligibility. Guaranteed student loans are all-important for èƽ students, whose commitment and dedication so deserve the support of our nation’s student loan program.
My congratulations to the entire èƽ community. Most especially, my congratulations to èƽ’s students. You are the heart and soul–and the future!–of èƽ.
Best!
George
Dr. George Smith
Founder & President
