  2. What is accreditation? • Accreditation is intended to assure constituents and the public of the quality and integrity of higher education institutions and programs, and to help those institutions and programs improve. • These outcomes are achieved through rigorous internal and external review processes during which the institution is evaluated against a common set of standards.
