programmatic accreditation

Programmatic accreditation is a formal recognition process that evaluates specific academic programs within institutions, ensuring they meet established standards of quality and effectiveness. Unlike institutional accreditation, which assesses the overall school, programmatic accreditation focuses on particular fields of study, like engineering or business. It involves rigorous reviews by experts, assessing curriculum, faculty qualifications, student outcomes, and resources. This accreditation helps students and employers identify programs that meet high-quality benchmarks, enhancing the program's credibility and graduates' qualifications in the job market.
