ACCREDITATIONWhat does it mean if a school is accredited? Schools that are labeled "accredited" have met certain academic and institutional requirements established by the accrediting organizations. Some of the factors that accrediting organizations look for includes a schools curriculum, quality of education, facilities, staff, and admission policies. Are there benefits to attending an accredited school? The primary advantage of a school being "accredited" is their ability to offer financial aid to students. While NACCAS is not a government agency, they are recognized by the United States Department of Education. This being said, there are still a lot of good schools out there that choose not to be accredited. Which schools are accredited?
