The purpose of program assessment and accreditation is to ensure that educational programs meet certain standards of quality and effectiveness. This process involves evaluating the curriculum, faculty, resources, and outcomes of a program to determine if it is meeting its stated goals and objectives. Accreditation also provides external validation and recognition of the program's quality, which can help students make informed decisions about their education and employers make informed decisions about hiring graduates. Additionally, accreditation can help programs identify areas for improvement and take steps to enhance their overall effectiveness.
