Why Accreditation Matters
Accreditation by SACSCOC signifies that the institution:
- Has a mission appropriate to higher education
- Has resources, programs and services sufficient to accomplish and sustain that mission
- Maintains clearly specified educational objectives consistent with its mission and appropriate to the degrees it offers
- Demonstrates a commitment to the process of self-reflection and evidence-based evaluation toward achieving its stated objectives
