Accredited Degree Programs: Why They Matter

Earning a degree from an accredited university is an important decision. Accreditation ensures that a university meets rigorous standards of quality, set by an accrediting agency. This accreditation offers several benefits to students, including:

Eligibility for federal financial aid: Accredited universities can offer federal financial aid to eligible students, helping to make college more affordable.
Preparation for licensure exams and certifications: Many professions require licensure or certification. Programmatic accreditation, a specific type of accreditation focused on particular programs, ensures that a program aligns with the skills and knowledge assessed on these exams.
Enhanced reputation and credibility: Accredited degree programs are valued by employers and respected throughout the industry. Accreditation demonstrates that you have received a high-quality education and possess the necessary skills to succeed in your chosen field.
