Accreditation
Accreditation is any form of independent review of educational programs for the purpose of helping to establish that the learning offered is of a uniform and sound quality.

Utah Valley State College is Accredited by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities. (NWCCU)

In the United States, the most widely recognized form of accreditation for degree-granting programs comes from the regional accreditation boards. When people ask if you have attended an "accredited university" in the United States, they most commonly mean a regionally accredited university.



 
There are six regional accreditation boards in the United States:

MSA - Middle States Association
NWCCU - Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities
NCA - North Central Association of Colleges and Schools
NEASC - New England Association of Schools and Colleges
SACS - Southern Association of Colleges and Schools
WASC - Western Association of Schools and Colleges

These six boards are seen as equal in each other's eyes and the eyes of academics for the purpose of transferring credits or degree status from one college to another.
