What is Accreditation and why is it important?

*Accreditation is an effort to assess the quality of institutions, programs and services, measuring them against agreed upon standards and thereby assuring that they met those standards.

In the case of post-secondary education and training, there are two kinds of accreditation. The first is “Institutional” and the second is “Programmatic”.
Institutional accreditation helps assure potential students that a school is a sound institution and has met certain minimum standards in terms of administration, resources, faculty and facilities.

Programmatic accreditation examines specific schools or programs within an educational institution. The standards by which these programs are measured have generally been developed by the professionals involved in each program and are intended to reflect what a person needs to know and are able to do, to function successfully within that profession.

Accreditation in the health related field also serves a very important public interest. Along with certification and licensure, accreditation is a tool intended to help assure a well-prepared and qualified workforce providing health care services.
