认证 is a voluntary system of self-regulation and peer review for colleges based on standards of good practice. It is designed to assure students and the surrounding community that the college meets or exceeds these standards which reflect minimum conditions of quality and service for accredited institutions of higher learning. These standards of good practice are developed to reflect both federal requirements and widely accepted practices in higher education nationally.
