Founded in 1912, ACICS is the largest national accrediting organization of degree-granting institutions. ACICS accredits professional, technical and occupational programs, and are one of two national accreditors recognized by both the U.S. Department of Education and the Council for Higher Education Accreditation.
Colleges and schools accredited by ACICS are required to meet and maintain high standards of faculty qualifications, student retention and student placement.
Accreditation is an independent appraisal of an institution during which the institution's overall educational quality (including outcomes), professional status among similar institutions, financial stability, and operational ethics are self-evaluated and judged by peers. It is a voluntary activity separate and distinct from business licensing, authority to award educational credentials, and eligibility to administer student financial assistance.
Stratford University is proud of its industry and educational affiliations and will continue to expand in this direction because it helps establish a broader range of contacts for our graduates.
