Higher education is a highly regulated industry. Postsecondary education is regulated through accreditation, federal requirements under the Higher Education Act of 1965 Title IV, and state regulatory and licensing.

Accreditation is the oldest and least understood part of regulation. Rooted in the Latin credo, "to trust," the term was meant to establish a peerage of trust. Accreditation of educational institutions has two fundamental purposes: quality assurance, and institutional and program self improvement. It is a process for recognizing the quality of educational institutions and their programs, which instills confidence in the educational community and the schools' constituencies. Institutions are subject to periodic reviews to ensure that a specific level of performance is maintained, that there is evidence of institutional and program self improvement, and that the institution demonstrates integrity and abides by requirements of the accrediting agency. Colleges and universities rely on accredited status in evaluating transfers of credit and applications for postgraduate study. Customers, which include students, parents, and potential employers, rely on accreditation for assurance of quality of the school and its programs. An accreditation body recognized by the U.S. Department of Education is necessary for students at a college or university to qualify for federal financial assistance.
