This award recognizes ACCSC-accredited institutions for their efforts in demonstrating a high level of achievement among their students and a commitment to the accreditation process. In order to receive this recognition, an institution must go through the accreditation process without issue and submit all reports on time. A majority of the school\u2019s graduation and employment rates from all programs offered must meet or exceed the average rates of graduation and employment among all ACCSC-accredited institutions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Everyone at DEC is extremely proud of this accomplishment. Julian Imbrescia, Chief Academic Officer of DEC, led the school\u2019s team during the rigorous accreditation process, and he states: \u201cWe at Douglas Education Center accept this award with an immense amount of pride and gratitude.\u00a0 Accreditation is an indicator of a school\u2019s commitment to maintaining quality educational standards and ethical business practices. Upon acknowledging DEC as a School of Excellence, ACCSC recognized the accomplishments DEC made during its recent accreditation renewal, especially in regard to sustaining high levels of achievement with students and graduates. This is a significant recognition of our institution, emphasized by the fact that DEC also received the School of Excellence Award during its previous accreditation cycle.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">As a School of Excellence, Douglas Education Center will be honored throughout the 2024 ACCSC Professional Development Conference (PDC). The PDC will be held September 25 &#8211; 27, 2024, in Long Beach, California. The PDC provides the one-of-a-kind opportunity to explore meaningful ways to enhance and promote student excellence within schools and communities through an educational program building a shared commitment to supporting exceptional students and fostering communities dedicated to their success.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-34123 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dec.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/ACCSCEvent_web-1024x228.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"228\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dec.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/ACCSCEvent_web-1024x228.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.dec.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/ACCSCEvent_web-300x67.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.dec.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/ACCSCEvent_web-768x171.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.dec.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/ACCSCEvent_web-1536x341.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.dec.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/ACCSCEvent_web-2048x455.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.dec.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/ACCSCEvent_web-500x111.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.dec.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/ACCSCEvent_web-800x178.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.dec.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/ACCSCEvent_web-1280x284.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/www.dec.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/ACCSCEvent_web-1920x427.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.dec.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/ACCSCEvent_web-700x156.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.dec.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/ACCSCEvent_web-1100x244.jpg 1100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"DEC Campus Highlight\" width=\"1060\" height=\"596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ntpWmmFVwqQ?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/www.dec.edu\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ACCSC (Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges) has recognized Douglas Education Center (DEC) as a School of Excellence for the second consecutive time.
