For over 140 years, Sanford-Brown College has provided
career-oriented postsecondary educational programs. Our
institution offers focused, innovative, short-term diploma
program areas in the fields of business administration and
healthcare.
At Sanford-Brown, we have focused our study programs, which
enable you the opportunity to develop your skills effectively to
meet your specific career goals. We enable adults to complete
some programs of study in less time than you think. Plus, our
programs focus on the essential concepts and skills most
employers look for in entry-level employees. Our goal is to
provide you with the practical information and experience you
need to get your foot in the door. A distinct advantage of our
programs is that we do not require students to take courses that
are not directly supportive of their career goals.
We are in the business of career education and we care about you
and your future, as well as your future employer's needs. That is
the Sanford-Brown difference.
Accreditation/Certification Information Disclosure
Back to top
Accreditation is a voluntary process which may be undertaken by
schools to demonstrate compliance with specific standards
designed to indicate a level of education quality. SBC is
institutionally accredited (accredited in total) by the
Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools (ACICS),
a national accrediting agency recognized by the United States
Department of Education (DOE) and the Council for Higher
Education Accreditation (CHEA). This indicates that SBI
substantially meets or exceeds the stated criteria of education
quality established by ACICS, and approved by the DOE and CHEA.
This recognition of institutional accreditation by ACICS entitles
SBC to offer Title IV Financial Assistance to students who
qualify.
An additional form of accreditation that a school may undertake
to obtain is a specific, individual accreditation of certain
programs (programmatic accreditation). Institutional
accreditation is not the same as or a substitution for
programmatic accreditation. Although programmatic accreditation
is not required for employment in many cases, the existence of
programmatic accreditation is a further indication that a program
meets the standards of the profession, and may therefore
indirectly enhance employment opportunities. Also, in some cases,
programmatic accreditation will allow the graduates of the
accredited program to sit for some credentialing exams
immediately upon graduation without any requirement of work
experience.
