Specialized accreditation normally applies to the evaluation of programs, departments, or schools which usually are parts of a total collegiate or other postsecondary institution; most often these programs that lead to certification or licensure. To receive specialized accreditation, the college, school, or program must demonstrate that it has relevant content, qualified faculty, and adequate resources to meet rigorous accreditation standards set for a specific field, discipline, or profession. By earning this accreditation, the academic unit demonstrates that it has met the standards that prepare students for advancement in the field.
Specialized accreditation is a valuable and important verification that the specific program meets professional standards.
