The NCA CASI Office of Postsecondary Education is responsible for the accountability of schools with postsecondary certificate-granting designation in accordance with federal regulations. We strive to work closely with postsecondary institutions to ensure the quality of the education provided to students. The process of institutional accreditation provides an avenue to utilize a variety of criteria to assess the effectiveness of postsecondary programs. The objectives of the postsecondary accreditation process are to:
- Provide a process for institutional evaluation.
- Assure accountability in the use of federal funds allocated to the institutions.
- Promote, strengthen, and assure the operation of quality educational programs for all students.
Contact our office if you would like additional information regarding the accreditation process, resources and/or professional development opportunities.
