CAMACS accreditation is the process of reviewing a school's programs and policies to see if it meets criteria. When a school is found to meet the minimum criteria, it is granted accreditation. In addition, accreditation is a process of validation in which your institutions of higher learning are evaluated. The standards for accreditation are set by a peer review board whose members include faculty from various accredited colleges and universities. The board aids in the evaluation of each potential new school accreditation or the renewals of previously accredited colleges/schools. In order for potential colleges to proceed with the accreditation process smoothly, they must meet the general standards set by the peer review accreditation boards. Each college is typically assessed using the following criteria: Student Requirements for Admissions Services Available to Students Overall Mission of the College Objectives and Goals Reputation of Faculty Quality of Education Why is accreditation important? Accreditation is meant to protect students, schools, and employers. It ensures that a school is educating its students and meeting quality standards. When a student receives a diploma from a school accredited by the right agency, he can be assured that it will be accepted by employers. Likewise, when an employer is looking to hire, she can be assured that a graduate from an accredited school has received the training necessary and didn't pay for a degree from a diploma mill school.
