As of June 11, 2026: This section explains Maestro College's current accreditation status with the Council on Occupational Education (COE).
Maestro College recently completed its most recent review cycle with the Council on Occupational Education (COE), its accrediting agency. One significant development has come out of this review: a Show Cause Order has been issued. This article explains what that means for you.
If you're a current student, or already confirmed into an upcoming cohort, nothing changes for you. Your enrollment, scholarship, and financial aid remain fully in place. Your coursework, credentials, and academic record are valid and recognized.
COE issued a Show Cause Order on one of its eligibility requirements: at least 25% of an institution's enrollment must come from traditional, on-campus instruction. Because most of our students study online, we don't currently meet this threshold. We are preparing our formal response to the Council outlining how we plan to address this requirement.
