HEI accreditation is a type of quality assurance process under which services and
operations of post-secondary educational institutions or programs are evaluated by an
external body to determine if applicable standards are met. If standards are met, accredited
status is granted by the agency. In most countries in the world, the function of educational
accreditation is conducted by a government organization, such as a ministry of education. In the
United States, however, the quality assurance process is independent of government and
performed by private membership associations.
