Accreditation ensures that institutions of higher education or in some cases, specific academic programs achieve and maintain a level of performance, integrity, and quality that entitles them to the confidence of the educational community and public they serve.

Institutional accreditation is granted by institutional or national agencies such as Kent State's accreditor, the Higher Learning Commission (HLC). These agencies are recognized by the U.S. Department of Education to accredit degree granting colleges and universities. Institutional accreditation validates the quality of an institution and evaluates multiple aspects of an institution ranging from its academic offerings, governance and administration, mission, finances, and resources.
