Institutional Accreditation

Institutional accreditation is a process by which a college or university is evaluated by an external body to ensure it meets certain quality standards in education. This accreditation assures students, employers, and the public that the institution provides a legitimate and beneficial educational experience. Accrediting bodies assess factors such as faculty qualifications, curriculum, student services, and outcomes. Being accredited can help institutions secure funding, and it is often a requirement for students to receive federal financial aid. Overall, it serves as a mark of quality and accountability in higher education.
