Accrediting Agencies

Accrediting agencies are organizations that evaluate and verify the quality and standards of colleges, universities, and other educational institutions. They ensure that these institutions meet specific academic, administrative, and resource criteria, which helps maintain educational quality and credibility. Accreditation also assures students, employers, and the public that the institution provides reliable, valuable education. These agencies conduct thorough reviews and site visits, and their approval is often necessary for institutions to receive funding or grants, transfer credits, and grant degrees recognized nationwide.
