What this means

West Virginia University is accredited and your degree counts.

Because West Virginia University holds Initial accreditation from CAHIIM, graduates of this baccalaureate degree program are eligible to sit for the appropriate AHIMA credential exam: the RHIA (Registered Health Information Administrator).

"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.
