Accreditation
Before you sign up for a college or university, make sure they are regionally accredited. Otherwise you might not be able to transfer your college credits. An important way a school can show that it offers quality education is to become accredited. Accreditation means that the school has been approved by a non-government agency that reviews schools in a region or occupation. A school should tell you whether it is accredited and which agency has accredited it. To become accredited, institutions and programs must demonstrate that they meet standards established by the accrediting agency.
If you are preparing for a licensed profession or are seeking professional certification, you should make sure that the program or course satisfies any specialized accrediting requirements. You may not be eligible for licensure or certification if the program is not recognized by a particular specialized accrediting agency.
