The National Accrediting Commission of Career Arts and Sciences (NACCAS) is an independent accrediting commission based in Alexandria, Virginia. Established in 1969, NACCAS is recognized by the U.S. Department of Education as a national agency for accrediting postsecondary schools and departments of cosmetology arts and sciences. With over 1,300 accredited institutions serving more than 120,000 students, NACCAS ensures that these schools meet national standards of educational performance.
Accreditation by NACCAS signifies that a school has met the established standards set by the Commission. Accredited schools conform to a set of common minimum standards, demonstrating their commitment to integrity and quality education. NACCAS evaluates schools at least once every six years, and continuation of accreditation depends on maintaining these standards. The Commission meets regularly to provide support and guidance to accredited schools, and it is incorporated as a nonprofit corporation in the state of Delaware.
