Accreditation
Accreditation is an evaluation process that higher education institutions and specific academic programs undergo in order to maintain standards of educational quality. Accredited institutions and accredited programs must commit to rigorous internal and external reviews, to ensure that accreditation standards are continually being met.
Institutional accreditation determines university eligibility for Title IV funds under the Higher Education Act (federal student financial aid) and may also be tied to grant funding for research.
SACSCOC Accreditation
Tulane University is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC) and has many programs that are accredited by professional or programmatic accrediting organizations.
