Why is accreditation so important?
- A university with high standards
Accreditation ensures that an academic institution meets certain standards in teaching, student support, fiscal stability and other areas as determined by the accreditor.
- Ease of credit transfer
While the decision to grant transfer credit always rests with the receiving institution, institutions will often begin to consider transfer credit if it’s from an accredited institution.
