Accreditation

Accreditation is like a "quality stamp" for schools, colleges, or programs. It means an outside group has checked to make sure they meet certain standards of education and fairness. For example, an accredited college has been reviewed to ensure it provides good teaching, resources, and support for students. In short, it’s a way to know that a school or program is trustworthy and meets high standards.
