What is accreditation?

"The goal of accreditation is to ensure that education provided by institutions of higher education meets acceptable levels of quality," states the U.S. Dept. of Education's Office of Postsecondary Education. Accreditation standards are important to colleges and universities because it demonstrates the quality of the education they provide.

Accreditation ensures that your school, its administration, teachers and faculty meet certain requirements.

"Accrediting agencies, which are private educational associations of regional or national scope, develop evaluation criteria and conduct peer evaluations to assess whether or not those criteria are met."

eLearners.com only works with colleges, universities, and educational providers who are accredited by agencies recognized by the U.S. Department of Education. You can learn more about accreditation in our Guide to Online Education. Learn more
