How to Find the Accredited Online University Program You Need
With a multitude of online university programs vying for your attention, ensuring a university's accreditation should be a top priority. Accreditation significantly impacts the quality of education offered. Merely being accredited isn't enough; it's vital to examine the specifics of that accreditation. It should be recognized by the U.S. Department of Education or the Council for Higher Education Accreditation.
Understanding Accreditation
Accreditation is a voluntary, non-governmental peer evaluation process where an institution meets specific standards. Think of it as the distinction between earning a valuable degree or investing time and money into a course that lacks credibility. For employers, accreditation simplifies the hiring process by ensuring that candidates come from reputable institutions with acceptable standards.
Types of Accreditation
Institutional vs. Specialized Accreditation
- Institutional Accreditation: Evaluates the entire institution to ensure compliance with set standards. It is further divided into:
- National Accreditation: Common among vocational, technical, religious, and correspondence schools. However, credits from nationally accredited institutions are often not transferable as they might not meet the criteria for regional accreditation.
- Regional Accreditation: Recognized as a benchmark by the U.S. Department of Education. It facilitates the transfer of college credits due to its comprehensive blend of theory and practical experience.
- Specialized Accreditation: Focuses on specific programs within an institution, ensuring they meet industry standards, which is crucial for fields like engineering, law, medicine, science, and teaching.
Selecting a Program
When choosing an online university program, confirm its accreditation status and understand the type of accreditation it holds. This ensures you receive a quality education that is respected in your desired career field. Accredited programs not only offer recognized degrees but also pave the way for future academic and professional opportunities.
