Accreditation is a process in which institutions of learning engage with a recognized accrediting organization to assess its educational quality and realization of its mission. Accreditation allows institutions to perform self-evaluation, demonstrating that they are in compliance with a set of quality measures and standards.
The college’s Statement of Accreditation Status highlights recent accreditation actions, alternative delivery methods, credential levels, locations, and external resources.
