Accreditations assure that an educational institution offers a quality education that meets all the international
standards set by globally renowned and recognized accrediting councils and standardizing commissions. Accreditation
verifies our premium quality.

Goal of Accreditation

The goal of accreditation is to ensure that education provided by institutions of higher education meets acceptable levels of quality. Accrediting agencies, which are private educational associations of regional or national scope, develop evaluation criteria and conduct peer evaluations to assess whether those criteria are met or not. Institutions and/or programs that request an agency's evaluation and that meet an agency's criteria are then "accredited" by that agency.

Benefits of Institutional Accreditation

The primary benefits of institutional accreditation include

Provides formal recognition by peers, both within the institution and across the country.

Encourages planning, identifies areas for change, and provides substantial information that can be used to support resource decisions.

Is extremely influential in recruiting outstanding faculty and students.

Contributes to the assurance that graduates of these programs have formal preparation that meets nationally accepted standards and quality.

Maintaining Accreditation

To ensure continued academic excellence, accreditation requires periodic institutional and program reviews. The accreditation process also provides an opportunity for the University to assess our successes and challenges over time, see how we compare to our peers, and make better decisions when allocating resources

Understanding Regional and National Accreditation

Most public and private universities offering diverse programs hold regional accreditation, which involves a rigorous peer review by faculty and administrators from similar institutions.

National accreditation, on the other hand, is typically granted by agencies focused on specific disciplines or vocational education. While large public universities often have regional accreditation, they may also have nationally accredited programs. Georgia City University proudly holds both regional and national accreditation.
