Programs and accreditation

Pohnpei students from the COM-FSM National Campus came out in their traditional colors at the Spanish Wall Field in Kolonia Town to celebrate the College’s Founding Day

The College awards associate degrees to students who complete a prescribed two-year program of study. The time is extended for students who need to complete preparation classes before beginning the degree program. The college has articulation agreements with several online and conventional institutions.

The College awards certificates of achievement to students who complete a prescribed one-year program of study. Other short-term certificate programs are offered at the State Campuses in response to expressed local needs.

The College of Micronesia is accredited by the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges of the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC), an institutional accrediting body recognized by the Commission on Recognition of Post-secondary Accreditation and the United States Department of Education. Accreditation was awarded in 1978 and reaffirmed in 1982, 1987, 1992, 1998, and 2005.

In 2004, the College was placed on “Warning” by WASC on the basis of its self study report and visit. The warning status was removed in 2005.[3]
