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.
