specialized accreditation
Specialized accreditation is a formal recognition given to specific educational programs within an institution, such as engineering, nursing, or business schools. It ensures that these programs meet established quality standards, prepare students effectively for careers, and adhere to industry best practices. Unlike institutional accreditation, which assesses the entire school, specialized accreditation focuses on the strengths and quality of particular programs. This process helps students choose reputable programs, assures employers of graduates’ competence, and encourages continuous improvement within the program.
