Accreditation

ALEC Consulting's Higher Education Accreditation Consulting Services
Specializing in Obtaining Institutional Accreditation for Colleges and Universities Around the World

Why is College / University Accreditation Important?

  • Accreditation is one of the primary determining factors students use to decide whether or not to attend an institution of higher learning. 

  • Accreditation is required in most countries if students are to receive tuition assistance.

  • Accreditation is a determining factor when it comes to whether your institution's degrees are recognized by other institutions if and when your graduates elect to advance their studies at another institution.

  • Accreditation is the key factor utilized by other countries in deciding if your graduates' degrees are recognized and usable in the foreign countries.

  • Accreditation is required by many employers in order for the student to qualify for employee tuition reimbursement.

  • Accreditation helps employers understand the credibility of an institution from which their employees graduated.

  • Accreditation is the validation of all the work that you and your staff have done to ensure that students are receiving the quality education they deserve. Accreditation is the attestation to your faculty’s qualifications, your programmatic and student learning outcomes, and your institution's academic rigor. Accreditation certifies that your institution has undergone a rigorous review and evaluation from experts, and your institution has received a “certificate of quality” from the accrediting agency.

  • Accreditation allows your graduates to sit for certification exams.

  • Accreditation is requisite for growing and sustaining the health of your institution.
