What Is Accreditation?

Accreditation is a process to assure and improve higher education quality by giving public recognition to an institution that meets established standards of academic and administrative quality.

Why Is Accreditation Important?

Accreditation assures you, the student, that the institution operates on a sound financial basis, has approved programs of study, qualified instructors, adequate facilities, and approved policies. Additionally, accreditation is often required by employer sponsored tuition reimbursement programs and by other institutions when evaluating transfer credits.
