Syllabus Supports
Programs transitioning to the Accreditation/Recognition standards may utilize ABAI's free syllabus supports. The Accreditation Board has reviewed and published exemplary syllabi for some content areas. Additionally programs undergoing curricular changes may submit completed syllabi for review, prior to implementing it in the new curriculum. You can learn more about the details of these resources here.
