The Medical Transcription program is approved by the Approval Committee for Certified Programs (ACCP), a joint committee established by the American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA) and the Association for Healthcare Documentation Integrity (AHDI) to approve medical transcription education certified programs.

The degree option is a specialization within a program. Although students may complete multiple options within this program, only the major degree is awarded.
