Accreditation >> FAQs
Why should my School Program be accredited?
 
Accreditation is recognized worldwide as an important, objective method to review professional education programs to identify strengths, vulnerabilities, and opportunities for improvement. There is a need to assess the quality of education programs with the globalization of education - distance delivery, satellite and offshore programs-, the mobility of students and professionals, and with increasing education costs, students, parents, taxpayers and institutions want to be assured of program quality. Schools of Nursing use accreditation reviews to identify areas for development, for providing evidence of resource deficiencies to senior administrators and to guide important decisions about expansion of students, and changes in or continuation of programs.
