Can’t speak for the east coast, but the west coast accreditation organization (I forget the name) has a fairly clear set of standards for accreditation that boil down to:
1. Facilities required for accreditation (library, labs, offices, etc)
2. Degree programs and learning objectives (e.g. Bachelors of Computer Science and a list of competencies said degree asserts)
3. Processes and procedures, particularly around course management and curriculum. A big part of this is mapping out your listed degree requirements to classes that either provide those competencies or provide building blocks required for those competencies. E.g. Calc -> Lambda Calc -> Category Theory to provide a lot of fundamental math skills for a proposed CS curriculum.
EDIT: found them—the Western Association of Schools and Colleges is the organization that performs accreditations of colleges in California: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_Association_of_Schools_and_Colleges https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_Association_of_Schoo...
