Criterion for Accreditation

The criterion for accreditation refers to the set of standards and requirements an organization—such as a school, college, or program—must meet to be officially recognized as qualified and credible. These standards evaluate factors like quality of education, faculty qualifications, facilities, student support, and continuous improvement processes. Meeting these criteria assures stakeholders that the institution maintains acceptable levels of performance, integrity, and effectiveness. Accreditation is a validation that the organization adheres to recognized quality benchmarks, helping students, employers, and the public trust in the institution’s credibility and offerings.
