Is it correct English usage to say accepted a program?

"Accepted a program" is grammatically correct, but it's not the most natural or common way to express the idea in English.

Here's why:

* It's vague. "Accepted" can mean many things. Did you accept the program as a user, as a student, as an employee?

* It's passive. "Accepted" implies the program is doing the action. It's more natural to focus on the person or entity taking action.

Here are some more common and specific ways to express the idea:

* "I was accepted into the program." (This is the most natural way to express being accepted as a participant.)

* "I applied to the program and was accepted." (This emphasizes the application process.)

* "The company adopted the new software program." (This focuses on the implementation of a program.)

* "The school implemented a new curriculum program." (This focuses on the use of a program in an educational context.)

Always consider the specific context and choose the phrasing that best conveys your intended meaning.
