Program Accreditation

Program accreditation is a formal recognition that an educational program meets specific standards of quality and effectiveness, set by an accrediting body. This process ensures that the program provides a valuable education that prepares students for their careers. Accreditation involves a comprehensive evaluation, including curriculum quality, faculty qualifications, and student outcomes. When a program is accredited, it assures students and employers that the education received is credible and respected. It can also affect financial aid eligibility and transferability of credits, making accredited programs generally more favorable for prospective students.
