What this means

Dakota State University is accredited and your degree counts.

Because Dakota State University holds Initial accreditation from CAHIIM, graduates of this master degree program are eligible to sit for the appropriate AHIMA credential exam: typically the RHIA, and many programs prepare students for additional specialty credentials.

"Initial Accreditation" means the program received CAHIIM accreditation recently and is on a shortened review cycle to confirm continued compliance. Graduates are fully eligible for AHIMA exams. The status simply signals a newer program.
