What is an "accredited college"?

Accreditation is an approval by a team of professionals or experts, who effectively audit a university, program or school - including high schools. They have different accreditation processes. There can be several committees set up within the school - a curriculum committee, the parent committee, etc. Everything is assessed, examined and observed in order to achieve accredited status. If a university passes this accreditation, based on how this team evaluates the school, they become accredited. Those are great brownie points. That's a great thing.
