520 |a Accreditation is a process that gives public recognition to institutions that meet certain standards. It is a promise that an institution will provide the quality of education it claims to offer. Accreditation assures the student that the institution operates on a sound financial basis, has an approved program of study, qualified instructors, adequate facilities and equipment, and approved recruitment and admissions policies. There are two basic types of accreditation?institutional and specialized. Institutional accreditation is granted by the regional and national accrediting agencies, which collectively serve most of the institutions chartered or licensed in the United States. These agencies only accredit total operating units. Specialized accreditation of professional or occupational institutions and programs is granted by national professional organizations in such fields as journalism, health sciences, engineering and law. After all is said and done, an accredited institution is one that delivers on its promises to its students everyday.
