- Degree from a reputable university that can help you stand out to potential employers
Understanding institutional vs. programmatic accreditation
Institutional accreditation means a university, as a whole, has been accredited by a recognized accrediting body and meets established quality standards and requirements through the accreditation process. Programmatic accreditation means a specific academic program has met standards established for its particular field of study.
NECHE is recognized by the U.S. Department of Education as a reliable authority on the quality of education for the institutions it accredits. Recognition by the Department of Education provides access to federal financial aid for U.S. students attending institutions accredited by the Commission.
ACBSP is a leading programmatic accreditor in the field of business committed to advancing excellence in business education worldwide. ACBSP accredits business programs at the associate, baccalaureate, master's and doctoral degree levels, as well as business certificates.
