United States : National Accreditation
Concordia College and University is proud to annouce that it has received accreditation through the National Academic Higher Education Agency, state registered accrediting organization in Washington, D.C., founded to foster and preserve high quality, educationally sound and widely accepted distance education standards and to provide a consistent measurement of the acceptability of private schools (K-12), adult high schools, vocational and technical schools, private colleges and postsecondary education.
Accreditation means that an independent group of college and university administrators in the United States has certified that the college's curriculum, degree-by-assessment programs and faculty conform to standards within the field of higher education. Essentially, it means Concordia College and University is not a ''diploma mill'' and degrees actually have proven their academic and professional value in today's highly competitive job marketplace.
Meet some of our successful Concordia College & University graduates:
(1), (2), (3), (4), (5), (6), (7), (8), (9), (10).
''This is a significant day for the university as we receive accreditation from a U.S. recognized agency,'' said founding director Alex James. ''This affirmation of our strong commitment to providing our students with a rigorous and well rounded educational assessment program is another step in our growth as a university. I am grateful to our faculty, staff and administration for their diligence exhibited throughout the accreditation process.''
The United States is the only known country in the world that has no Federal Ministry of Education and no centralized authority exercising national control over postsecondary educational institutions. All U.S. accreditation agencies are privately owned non-governmental organizations. Concordia College & University is continuously examining both private and governmental accrediting agencies and organizations worldwide, that are complementary to its goals and objectives.
