Accreditation
In Module 3, we learn about the history of Accreditation and the benifits to students, the community and the colleges. One of the main benefits relates to monitary resources: federal resources for financial aid are given to accredited colleges, benifiting students and increasing enrollments. Accreditation can also assure private donors will identify and give to quality higher learning programs.
