The
Commission provides the legislative and the executive
branches of government with advice and information about
major policy and planning issues concerning education
beyond high school. This comprehensive, statewide planning
for postsecondary education in the State is perhaps
the most significant of the Commission's multiple responsibilities.

Accreditation
in the United States is a voluntary process of external
quality review used by higher education to scrutinize
colleges, universities and programs for quality assurance
and quality improvement. Higher education creates,
finances and otherwise sustains accreditation as a
desired practice of self-regulation of its activities.
Accreditation emerges from concerns to protect public
health and safety and to serve the public interest.
It is carried out by private, non-governmental, non-profit
organizations designed for this specific purpose.
At this time, International American University
has
not sought U.S. Department of Education recognition
or accreditation.
