Accreditation is an unknown. Most people rely on what they hear from colleges or high school counselors for their information. Accreditation is often presented as similar to a Good Housekeeping seal of approval or a quality check when you buy a used car. But these descriptions don’t really fit anymore. Now accreditation has become a way to enforce bad policies and keep newcomers out.
John Adams College, along with a few other colleges, has chosen not to participate, and we invite other colleges and universities to join us.
