Accreditation

Accreditation, in practical terms, is a "stamp of approval," a sign that an institution ascribes to, believes in and has met an external set of basic criteria for its programs. In all cases, it indicates that threshold standards are adhered to in a fashion that provides a base of academic strength and operational integrity.

Accreditation reviews focus on educational quality, institutional integrity and educational improvements.
