Return To Degrees FAQ Archive   Search the Archives Are there different types of college accreditation? Answered By Devon Turnhill, Editor Basically, there are two types of college accreditation. The first is Institutional accreditation which is granted to a school that has met the standards and requirements of the accrediting organization. In this type, all aspects of the school's operation is assessed, from the program offerings to the curriculum to the administration and the facilities and other services of the school. An institutional accreditation signifies high quality in terms of faculty, administration, student, curriculum and program offerings and facilities. Institutional accreditation is further classified into two types, the regional and the national accreditation. These two types of accreditation are dependent on the evaluator or the accrediting agency, which can be a regional or a national organization.
