How the universities are granted Accreditation?
The accreditation is offered to only those universities or institutes that meet the strict standards set by the official and semi-official agencies or boards. There are several non-governmental agencies which are highly involved and committed to improve the educational standards of online universities, in particular those which are offering degrees based of working adults’ life/work/knowledge experience.
Few of these non-governmental agencies or boards that are performing accreditation services are as following:
- Universal Council for Online Education Accreditation (UCOEA)
- International Accreditation Agency for Online Universities (IAAOU)
- Board of Online Universities Accreditation (BOUA)
- World Online Education Accrediting Commission (WOEAC)
- Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools (MSACS)
- New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC)
- North Central Association of Colleges and Schools (NCACS)
- Northwest Association of Schools, Colleges, and Universities (NASCU)
