Abstract
Most define accreditation as a status, which shows the public that a school has met and is maintaining a high level of standards set by an accrediting agency. It reflects the quality by which an educational institution or a program conducts its business. It speaks to a sense of public trust, as well as to professional quality. Accreditation provides assurance that the program in which a student is enrolled or is considering enrolling is engaged in continuous review and improvement of its quality that it meets nationally endorsed standards in the profession, and that it is accountable for achieving what it sets out to do. Accreditation provides a formal process for ongoing evaluation and improvement of the program and faculty development outcomes, a process by which faculty, students and administration can work together in advancing the educational institution's mission. It ensures a basic level of quality in the education one received from an institution
