Why Accreditation Matters
Institutional accreditation is a voluntary, peer-review process that promotes academic quality, accountability, and continuous improvement. Accreditation by a recognized accrediting agency allows eligible students to apply for federal financial aid and enables the College to pursue federally funded grants and other opportunities.
Accreditation Oversight
The Office of Institutional Effectiveness oversees accreditation activities for the College, including coordination of reaffirmation and compliance processes.
