A quality assurance process where an external body evaluates a university's academic standards, ensuring it meets recognized benchmarks.
Accreditation is the formal process by which an independent agency evaluates a university's educational quality, governance, finances, and student outcomes against established standards. In the US, regional accreditors (like the Higher Learning Commission or SACSCOC) provide institutional accreditation, while specialized agencies accredit individual programs. Internationally, each country has its own accreditation framework. Accreditation status directly affects a university's eligibility for government funding, student financial aid, and the recognition of its degrees by employers and other institutions. Attending an unaccredited institution carries significant risks for students.
