Accreditation
Accreditation
is a system for setting national standards of quality in education. The
United States is unique in the world because its accreditation system is not
administered by the government, but rather by committees of educators and
private agencies like the Middle States Association of Colleges and
Secondary Schools and the Society of Engineers.
Before registering to study in any educational institution in the United States, a student should make certain that the institution is accredited in order to assure that the school has a recognized standard of organization, instruction, and financial support. Foreign students should be particularly careful to check an institution's accreditation because other governments or future employers may not recognize a degree earned from a school that has not received accreditation.
If a college is accredited, catalogs and brochures will usually indicate the accreditation status. If you are not sure about a certain school, don't hesitate to check its reputation with an education officer at the nearest U.S. embassy.
