Accreditation
What is Accreditation?
Accreditation is the public recognition awarded to colleges, universities and programs that meet established educational standards. Accreditation assures that teaching, student achievement, curricula, academic support and other criteria meet certain levels of excellence and quality.
Professional and Specialized Accrediting Organizations:
Specialized and professional accreditors, like the Aviation Accreditation Board International (AABI), accredit degree-granting programs in particular disciplines or program areas. Specialized accreditors review programs or schools/colleges within institutions.
Who Accredits the Accreditors?
The Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) is a private organization that recognizes all accreditors that accredit degree-granting institutions or programs.
