Iowa Admin. Code r. 281-79.4
Each institution seeking approval of its practitioner preparation programs by the state board, including those programs offered by distance learning delivery models or at off-campus locations, must be accredited by an institutional accrediting agency recognized by the U.S. Department of Education and file evidence of the extent to which each program meets the standards contained in this chapter by means of a written self-evaluation report and an evaluation conducted by the department. The institution will demonstrate such evidence by means of a template developed by the department and through a site visit conducted by the department. After the state board has approved the practitioner preparation programs of an institution, students who complete the programs and are recommended by the authorized official of that institution will be issued the appropriate license and endorsement(s).
