Important Information
About Accreditation

• A critical issue in higher education is the existence of bogus educational and accreditation institutions, called Degree Mills and Accreditation Mills. In order to protect our institutions, students, and the public, ARTS recommends the information provided in the following website as important for discerning how to recognize these entities. Here are some resources to identify degree mills:
  
  • CHEA information on Degree Mills
  • US Department of Education
  • The Best Schools.org

• Additionally, the Council for Higher Education Accreditation, a leading advocate for self-regulated academic quality is also an excellent resource for information on the value of accreditation in promoting continuous improvement in academic institutions.
