Western Association of Schools and Colleges  |  WASC  

The Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) is one of six officially recognized accrediting agencies in the United States. WASC is responsible for evaluating and ensuring the quality and standards of universities, colleges, and K–12 schools across the U.S. and worldwide.

Why WASC Matters at GSIS WASC accreditation is a prestigious mark of educational excellence. At GSIS, it affirms that our school meets rigorous standards in three core areas:

  • Institutional Integrity Academic Quality / Student Success

A Commitment to Continuous Growth Accreditation is not a one-time achievement. Every six years, GSIS engages in a comprehensive self-study and hosts an external peer review. This continuous cycle of reflection and improvement strengthens our commitment to innovation and student-centered learning.

Globally Recognized Excellence  WASC accreditation ensures that GSIS students benefit from a globally recognized education—one that prepares them to thrive in an increasingly interconnected and rapidly changing world.
