This might sound silly, but I've been curious if even colleges like Harvard have accreditation. So, is Harvard University accredited? I just want to make sure I'm applying to colleges that meet quality standards. Thanks in advance!
Yes, Harvard University is accredited just like other universities and colleges. It is accredited by the New England Commission of Higher Education (NECHE). Accreditation by such regional authorities assures that the institution meets specific standards in terms of its programs, faculty, facilities, and support services. It's a key indicator of a schools' commitment to quality education. In general, it's wise to check the accreditation status of all colleges you are considering, as this can have an impact on transfer credits, eligibility for federal financial aid, and recognition by employers and other schools.
