Loyola Marymount University is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges, Senior Colleges and University Commission (WSCUC). All departments in the College of Communication and Fine Arts go through periodic review either with the appropriate national accrediting bodies or the university's rigorous internal Program Review process. This adds value to your degree and will indicate the high quality of your education to future employers. Currently the departments of Theatre, Dance, Music, and the graduate program in Marital and Family Therapy all hold accreditation with the appropriate agencies in addition to WSCUC accreditation.
