It has definitely given us credibility in this area with employers and students. There have been other schools who have lost their accreditations so it definitely says a lot with a school maintains theirs consistently.
I feel like Accreditation puts a higher stamp of approval on the institution as a whole. This is always one of the first questions that a prospective student asks and it is nice to answer that we are indeed accredited. I feel too that it helps the student because they know that they quality of education is there especially when you take the time to explain truly what being accredited means.
Not only does accreditation add value to an education, the type of accreditation is very important. Our students appreciate our regional accreditation, which helps makes credits generally more transferable and the degree recognizable once they graduate.
By being accredited i have found that the prospective graduate has a much better shot at getting started in a career rather than just a job that may not be wht they want.
Potential employer may require your education come from an accredited institution
I think being Accredited first envolve our student in the conversation of having a opportunity for employment with employers that only higher students from a Accredited college. Secondly, it than allow our students to show off the hands on skills being taught be our college.
Accreditation ensures the student is getting the proper education/training.
We have an accredited Vet Tech program and it allows our students an advantage over our competition who is not AVMA accredited.
Accreditation helps students choose a reliable college for an education that will help them obtain employment or further education. It helps students when they intend to transfer credits.
This is more times than not the first question I get from potential students. Students want to attend a school that is accredited because it provides credibility and shows that we are a distinguished institution. This allows them to feel more confident in their decision in choosing their college.
employer's may want that accreditation.
Students are very happy that we are accredited. They are even more happy that they may receive financial aid that can only be offered because of that accreditation.
While the situation exist where there are institutions of higher learning who do not posess an accreditation, because there are individuals seeking a degree which will transfer to a different school, the ability to transfer the credits one has already earned will benefit both the student and the school. The student because their credits transfer, the school because the reputation of providing a valuable resource will potentially enable them to obtain more students.
the students I work with also ask are we an accredited school when I tell them we are nationally accredited by ACICS the students are really excited about our school.
Graduating from an accredited institution may improve the employment prospects of students. Another benefit may be the ability to transfer credits from one accredited school to another. However, accreditation does not provide automatic acceptance by an institution, nor does it guarantee acceptance of graduates by employers. Acceptance of students or graduates is always the prerogative of the receiving institution or employer. For these reasons, students should look into this prior to enrollment by inquiring into institutions to which transfer might be desired or to prospective employers.
I agree, the fact that our programs are accredited goes a long way with the students and parents.
It has allowed our school to continue to uphold it's integrity and therefore give the student the quality education they seek.
I feel the benefit of an accredited college is that ensures we continually meet the criteria of educational quality. I feel our accredition attracts students to particular programs such as medical.
By having our school accredited, it gives weight and depth to prospective students in a credible way of peace of mind in respects to our school.
The advantages of our school being accredited is that our prospective students feel more confident in the education they will be receiving as well as the admissions reps providing accurate information.This not only allows both the student and admissions an honest partnership but, the community in which our college is located.
