University of Northern Colorado’s proposed College of Osteopathic Medicine will have its pre-accreditation application reviewed next week during a meeting of the Commission on Osteopathic College Accreditation.
The meeting is scheduled for Dec. 4-5 in Chicago. The American Osteopathic Association’s commission, known as COCA, currently accredits 44 colleges of osteopathic medicine operating at 71 sites.
The commission is recognized by the U.S. Department of Education as the accreditor of colleges of osteopathic medicine. COCA members meet periodically to review site visit reports, change requests and other items pertaining to the accreditation of osteopathic medical schools.
If the UNC pre-accreditation application is approved, the college will be able to recruit and admit students, vice president, accreditation standards and COCA secretary Daniel Mendelson said in an email.
If the commission approves UNC’s application, officials will conduct a pre-operational site visit in early 2026 to approve the college to begin instruction, Mendelson said. The commission would then review the site visit would in April.
If the pre-accreditation application is not approved in early December, UNC will be asked to return to a future meeting with updates to the application.

In July, UNC resubmitted documents as part of its application — with the goal to begin recruiting students and accepting applications or fees. COCA required more information from UNC after the university submitted information earlier in the year, leading to the application not being approved in the spring.
UNC celebrated a milestone in late September on the construction of the $127.5 million building to house the medical college. The building is located on 20th Street, near the intersection with 11th Avenue, at the former site of Bishop-Lehr Hall.
In April 2024, following several years of work by UNC President Andy Feinstein and others, the state passed a $247 million bill for four health care projects at schools of higher education. UNC received the majority of the money for the medical college building.
The university in February 2024 set annual tuition for the college at $55,000 with fees of $2,000 per year for the first two years and a $1,000 student fee per year in the third and fourth years of the program.
