Notes
Newest CWRU location; program page says inaugural class began May 2022 (first graduates 2024, 27 graduates through 2025), while the task brief's CAAHEP directory date is Initial Accreditation 2023-05-19 — dates worth reconciling against the CAAHEP directory entry directly. Separate campus designation in the single CWRU CASAA application. Entering cohorts growing (12 to 18); small denominators make outcome percentages noisy. Shared program facts (degree, length, tuition, deadline, prereqs, test policy) are high-confidence; campus-specific figures medium.
