Accreditation

There are 19 recognized institutional accrediting organizations. All 19 organizations are recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation or the United States Department of Education. Each University that is accredited by one of these organizations must go through a process of external quality review. They scrutinize the University and their programs for quality assurance and quality improvement.

360 Education Solutions only partners with "regionally" accredited Universities. "Regional Accreditation" is the highest accreditation offered to any higher learning institution. Since we only partner with accredited Universities, access to government funds such as Title IV student financial assistance, grants, and various programs are available to students.
