	College Accreditation in the United States-- Pg 2
		Institutional accreditation normally applies to an entire institution, indicating that each of an institution's parts is contributing to the achievement of the institution's objectives, although not necessarily all at the same level of quality.
		The accredited unit may be as large as a college or school within a university or as small as a curriculum within a discipline.
		For example, the Council on Postsecondary Accreditation (COPA), which was established in 1974 and existed until December 1993, served as a nongovernmental organization whose purpose was to foster and facilitate the role of accrediting agencies in promoting and ensuring the quality and diversity of American postsecondary education.

	:: Accelerated Christian Education :: About Us
		Accreditation is not in any way connected with a ministry's status or financial arrangements with A.C.E. In fact, A.C.E. recognizes that the process of accreditation is an expensive process-in time, money, and effort-and many ministries will not want to partake.
		Although this does not accredit the A.C.E. curriculum, since curriculum cannot be accredited, this should raise the level of credibility of the A.C.E. curriculum for schools that use it, and can provide validation of its integrity for those who question it.
		The accreditation of the Lighthouse schools shows that A.C.E.'s individualized program is fundamentally sound and not a "hair-brained scheme" that is "here today, gone tomorrow." This alone may be enough to convince a local community college or public school to look more favorably on an A.C.E. student-even if that student's school is not itself accredited.
