Accreditation Assures Quality

In the United States, accreditation is a non-governmental, peer-review process that assures the quality of the postsecondary education students receive. Educational institutions or programs volunteer to undergo this review periodically to determine if certain criteria are being met.

(NOTE: Outside the United States, accreditation is not necessarily voluntary nor non-governmental. Please visit the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (www.unesco.org) for more information on the world's postsecondary education systems and their quality assurance mechanisms.)

 It is important to understand, however, that accreditation is not a ranking system. It is simply assurance that a program or institution meets established quality standards.

Why Should I Choose an Accredited Program?

Accreditation assures that a program has met quality standards set by the profession.

To employers, graduate schools, and licensure, certification, and registration boards, graduation from an accredited program signifies adequate preparation for entry into the profession. In fact, many of these groups require graduation from an accredited program as a minimum qualification.
