school accreditation
Educational quality approval
School accreditation is official recognition that an educational institution meets established quality standards.
Accrediting bodies—regional or national organizations—evaluate schools on criteria like curriculum, faculty qualifications, and student outcomes.
Accreditation matters for students because degrees from unaccredited schools may not transfer or qualify graduates for professional licensing: Make sure the program has proper accreditation before enrolling.
