Friday Focus: Let's talk about accreditation
December 09, 2022
Did you know that the ֱֻ has been accredited by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities (NWCCU) since 1934? But what does this mean? What is accreditation and why is it so important? Simply put, accreditation is a quality stamp - a stamp of assurance. For students, the stamp means they can trust UAF to provide a high standard of education imparted by qualified faculty. Students can also be assured of many opportunities and support services that are geared to set them up for overall success. For external employers, it means they do not have to second guess the quality of learning and preparation that comes with the academic degree from UAF. For faculty and staff, it means they are a part of an institution that is resourced to meet the standards necessary to receive accreditation. Accreditation also makes UAF eligible to receive federal financial aid as well as additional grant-funding.
