Purpose of Accreditation

 

In the United States, accreditation is used to assure quality in educational institutions and programs. Accreditation is a voluntary, non-governmental process of peer review. It requires an educational institution or program to meet certain, defined standards or criteria. Accreditation is sometimes confused with certification. In general, institutions and programs are accredited, and individuals are certified.  Engineering programs are evaluated and accredited by ABET's Engineering Accreditation Commission (EAC).
