Accreditation
Determining the quality of a degree program is an important step in the enrollment
process. National or regional accreditation is a process that gives public recognition
to institutions that meet certain standards. It is a promise that an institution
will provide the quality of education it claims to offer. Accreditation assures
you that the institution operates on a sound financial basis, has an approved
program of study, qualified instructors, adequate facilities and equipment, approved
recruitment and admission policies, and advertises its courses truthfully. Upper

Central Association the same status as Northwestern University and University of Michigan. Recognized
