Accreditation Information

The Council on Occupational Education (COE) has accredited DEOMI since 1983. (Prior to 1995, COE was known as the Commission on Occupational Educational Institutions (COEI) of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS).) Our last institutional self-study and COE team visit was completed in 2006. The team found no deficiencies, made no recommendations for correction, and commended DEOMI in many areas. In addition, COE stated that DEOMI’s self-study report was of exceptional quality and requested to use it as a sample for other institutions to follow. As a result, our accreditation was reaffirmed on February 16, 2007 by the Commission of the Council on Occupational Education and DEOMI was placed on a six year reaffirmation cycle. Our next COE team visit is scheduled for 2011.
