Accreditation is more than a regulatory requirement, it is a cornerstone of institutional credibility and academic excellence. In a recent episode of “Victors in Grad School,” Dr. Christopher Lewis spoke with NAAE Accreditation Officer, Daniel Sessions, about the vital role accreditation plays in higher education. Their conversation highlights how the right accrediting partner can strengthen an institution’s reputation, ensure compliance with evolving standards, and support both faculty and student success.
