Accreditation
Accreditation is a rigorous process conducted by the body, which governs an activity, such as the American Medical Association and doctors, certifying that the graduates of that program meet the standards set forth by the governing body. It is a way to hold institutions accountable for the quality of their programs.
Accreditation allows other colleges and universities to whom our graduates apply to be assured that our programs are properly structured and are taught by properly credentialed faculty.
