What is the difference between a concurrent enrollment program that is accredited and one that is not?
Accredited programs have participated in a rigorous self study and NACEP peer review process. They have carefully documented how they ensure that the college courses offered in the high school are of the same high quality and rigor as the courses offered on campus by the sponsoring college or university. Although other concurrent enrollment programs may be just as good as accredited programs, NACEP accreditation provides validation from an outside, national organization. In some cases, state legislation may require programs to become NACEP accredited in order to offer college/university courses through a concurrent enrollment program.
