Accreditation & Licensure

The Importance of Accreditation

When selecting a college or university and before committing any money to a postsecondary educational institution, it is important to determine whether or not the institution is “accredited.” This is even more important when considering a non-traditional form of instruction—such as distance learning. With an accredited institution, a student has some assurance of receiving a quality education and gaining recognition by other colleges and by employers of the course credits and degrees earned. Accreditation is an affirmation that a college provides a quality of education that the general public has the right to expect and that the educational community recognizes.

If a college or university is not accredited, its students will probably not be able to participate in either Federal or State of Arizona financial assistance programs.

What is accreditation?

Accreditation is a voluntary process of self-regulation and peer review adopted by the educational community. Institutions of higher education have voluntarily entered into associations to evaluate each other in accord with an institution’s stated goals. Non-accredited institutions must be able to demonstrate that they possess certain “characteristics of quality” before they are allowed to become members of the association of accredited institutions.

Accreditation of a school or program by the United States Department of Education (USDE) ensures the education provided meets an accepted level of quality training. Attending an accredited institution means you’re enrolling in a school that has gone through a thorough evaluation process to ensure high educational standards. Achieving and maintaining accreditation is challenging, as the rules and regulations are strict, specific, and aimed at safeguarding students’ interests.
