What is Accreditation?

Accreditation in higher education is not a new concept.

In fact, accreditation has been around for more than 100 years in certain regions of the world. Accreditation is a voluntary process that includes an external review of a school’s ability to provide quality programs.

Accreditation reviews include self-evaluations, peer-reviews, committee-reviews, and the development of in-depth strategic plans. They also include reviews of a school’s mission, faculty qualifications, and curricula.
