Understanding U.S. Higher Education Accreditation

The United States has no federal Ministry of Education or other centralized authority exercising single national control over post-secondary educational institutions in this country. The states assume varying degrees of control over education, but, in general, institutions of higher education are permitted to operate with considerable independence and autonomy. As a consequence, American educational institutions can vary widely in the character and quality of their programs.

In order to ensure a basic level of quality, the practice of accreditation arose in the United States as a means of conducting nongovernmental, peer evaluation of educational institutions and programs. Private educational associations of regional or national scope have adopted criteria reflecting the qualities of a sound educational program and have developed procedures for evaluating institutions or programs to determine whether or not they are operating at basic levels of quality.

Functions of Accreditation

Accreditation serves multiple important functions in the U.S. higher education system:

Verifying that an institution or program meets established standards
Assisting prospective students in identifying acceptable institutions
Assisting institutions in determining the acceptability of transfer credits
Helping to identify institutions and programs for the investment of public and private funds
Protecting an institution against harmful internal and external pressure
Creating goals for self-improvement of weaker programs and stimulating a general raising of standards among educational institutions
Involving the faculty and staff comprehensively in institutional evaluation and planning

The Accreditation Process

The goal of accreditation is to ensure that education provided by institutions of higher education meets acceptable levels of quality. Accreditation in the United States involves non-governmental entities as well as governmental agencies. Accrediting agencies, which are private educational associations of regional or national scope, develop evaluation criteria and conduct peer evaluations to assess whether or not those criteria are met. Institutions and/or programs that request an agency's evaluation and that meet an agency's criteria are then "accredited" by that agency.

This process includes comprehensive review of institutional mission, governance, faculty qualifications, student support services, educational resources, assessment practices, and continuous improvement initiatives. Regular reviews ensure ongoing compliance with established standards and promote institutional accountability.

Note: Prospective students are encouraged to verify our accreditation status through NACHE and to understand how our accreditation may affect transfer credit acceptance, professional licensure requirements, and employer recognition in their specific field and location.
