SOUTH CAROLINA COMMISSION ON HIGHER EDUCATION
The South Carolina Commission on Higher Education (CHE) is dedicated to advancing access, affordability, and excellence throughout South Carolina’s higher education system. Serving as both an oversight agency for the South Carolina General Assembly and an advocate for the citizens of the state, the Commission works to ensure that individuals and families have meaningful opportunities to improve their quality of life through higher education.
Southeastern Health & Wellness Institute is proud to be recognized as an approved institution under the South Carolina Commission on Higher Education. This approval reflects our commitment to maintaining educational standards that support academic integrity, professional development, and student success. Through this recognition, Southeastern Health & Wellness Institute continues to provide quality educational opportunities designed to prepare students for advancement in healthcare, wellness, and related professional fields.
COUNCIL ON OCCUPATIONAL EDUCATION
In addition to state approval, Southeastern Health & Wellness Institute maintains national accreditation for all active programs through the Council on Occupational Education (COE). This demonstrates the institution’s commitment to educational excellence, professional competency, and workforce readiness.
The Council on Occupational Education (COE) is a nationally recognized accrediting agency by the United States Department of Education and is committed to assuring quality and integrity in career and technical education. COE originated in 1971 as the Commission on Occupational Education Institutions (COEI) of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS), a regional accrediting association serving institutions throughout an eleven-state region. Over time, the organization expanded its mission and national presence, eventually becoming an independent accrediting body dedicated exclusively to occupational and technical education institutions across the United States.
Today, COE accreditation signifies that an institution meets rigorous standards related to academic quality, institutional effectiveness, student achievement, ethical practices, and continuous improvement. Southeastern Health & Wellness Institute is honored to uphold these standards and remains committed to providing students with high-quality educational experiences that prepare graduates for professional success and leadership within the healthcare and wellness industries.
AESTHETICS INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION
Southeastern Health & Wellness Institute is a proud member of the Aesthetics International Association. AIA was founded in 1972 as the first American aesthetics association. AIA was founded to bring aesthetic professionals together to network, share knowledge, and gather in numbers to establish a presence in the industry. In the early '80s, we began our mission to "Raise the standards of education and public awareness of the aesthetics industry." At that time, there was no separate aesthetic licensing in America.
While we don't take credit for establishing state licensing, our strong membership, leadership, and years of petitioning for such, undoubtedly had an impact.In addition to advocating to raise the standards through separate licensing, we also created an organization dedicated to providing aesthetic professionals with much needed tools and resources for their careers. We have provided education and career growth opportunities for thousands of aestheticians along their journeys. We continue that commitment with even more educational events, classes, workshops, and webinars than ever before!
AMERICAN MEDICAL SPA ASSOCIATION
