Accreditation
“Accreditation” is a means of reviewing the quality of higher education institutions and programs. In the United States, accreditation is a major way that students, families, government officials, and the press know that an institution or program provides a quality education. Furthermore, accreditation is quality assurance through external peer review to ensure a provider meets the standards set by its academic community, professionals, and stakeholders.
