The Accreditation Council for Cooperative Education has been established as an independent entity with its primary mission the recognition of the achievement and maintenance of standards for programs of cooperative education.

The Attributes of Cooperative Education Programs, based on a structural model that reflects the founding principles and distinctive definition of cooperative education, provide a set of standards to which a significant number of programs of cooperative education have subscribed.

The Attributes provide a conceptual framework that advances cooperative education as a discipline and are the foundation on which the accreditation process is established. Programs of cooperative education can now be accredited based on their adherence to this model. It is recognized, however, that any process will evolve, and elaboration of this model will be no exception.
