About this episode

This episode discusses the history and evolution of school accreditation in the United States from the late 19th century to the 1990s.

The accreditation of the School Systems beginning Late 19th Century (Colleges & High Schools): Accreditation first emerged in the late 1800s when universities partnered with regional organizations to evaluate high schools, ensuring students were adequately prepared for higher education. 1952 (Federal Law): The federal government formally recognized and used accreditation as a "gatekeeper" for schools to receive federal funding following the passage of the G.I. Bill. 1965 (Higher Education Act): Congress passed the Higher Education Act (HEA) , legally requiring colleges to be accredited to receive Title IV federal student aid. 1992 (Accreditor Requirements): Congress amended the HEA, requiring accrediting agencies themselves to have specific standards for curricula, student achievement, and fiscal capacity to approve schools
