Accreditation
Accreditations and Approvals
Globe University is certified by Accrediting Council for IndependentColleges and Schools (ACICS). ACICS is listed as a nationally approved accrediting agency by the United States Department of Education and is approved by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation.
Types of accreditation
It is very crucial to select a college that is accredited by an organization approved by the U.S. Department of Education . Nationally and regionally certified institutions accredited by those certified organizations have all satisfied the same standards of quality (listed below), and are eligible for federal loan and grant programs. Accreditation is a voluntary process.
Globe University ’s Standards of quality
Student achievement in relation to the institution's mission. The mission of their school states, “We will demonstrate We Care by preparing career-focused, community-minded graduates for the global workforce.” To satisfy that mission, they must establish that a high percentage of their graduates are employed in their fields of study.
Curricula
Faculty. In agreement with their mission, faculties in areas apart from general education have field experience in their areas of instruction.
Facilities, equipment and supplies
Fiscal and administrative capability as suitable to the detailed scale of operations
Student support services
Recruiting and admissions practices, academic calendars, catalogs, publications, grading and advertising
Measures of program length and the aims of the degrees or credentials provided
Record of student complaints received by, or available to, the agency
Record of agreement with the institution's program responsibilities under Title IV financial aid standards
Accreditation may affect employment and transfer of credits
Going to an institution certified by an organization approved by the U.S. Department of Education is usually a condition for employment and can be beneficial in transferring academic credits to another institution (U.S. Department of Education). On the other hand, it is always the discretion of the receiving institution whether to allow transfer of credits. That decision may or may not involve accreditation.
History of national and regional accreditation
Historically , nationally accredited institutions provided career-oriented and technical training, while regionally accredited institutions provided liberal arts education. Now, the difference is not as clear. Many career-focused institutions improve their technical training with general education and award master’s, bachelor’s and associate degrees as well as technical diplomas and certificates. Many regionally accredited institutions currently provide direct-to-employment programs such as business administration and paralegal science.
The measurements used to determine quality by a national accrediting organization such as ACICS lay emphasis on measurable outcomes including retention, graduation and placement rates; professional experience of faculty; and practical experience offered by programs.
Assessment of an institution by a regional accrediting body such as North Central Association may, in expecting the institution to achieve its own mission, be signified in terms of the student's philosophical perspective and self-enrichment in lieu to employment.
What is ACICS?
Accrediting Council for IndependentColleges and Schools (ACICS) was established in 1912 as a national accrediting body for post-secondary institutions that mainly offered business and business-related programs of study. ACICS is acknowledged by the US Department of Education and by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation.
