Here's an explanation of accreditation from an article by Robb Murray in the January 26th issue of The Free Press:
"In the world of higher education, nothing is more important than accreditation. . . All colleges and universities must go through the accreditation process. About once every 10 years, committees form and set about the task of proving to the accrediting body that they deserve the official thumbs up. . . In general, accreditation is about quality control. The seal of approval from the HLC, MSU officials say, says an institution meets high standards in terms of faculty to student ratios, faculty training, educational outcomes, facility use and dozens of other areas. . . Federal education funding is contingent on accreditation. Any school not accredited simply is not eligible. In MSU's case, that affects everything from operating budget to financial aid to students. That's what makes the process so important."
