The regulations and standards used by the Connecticut Office of Higher Education can be found at www.ctohe.org. In addition to licensure, the state of Connecticut also ensures through its accreditation process that Post University continues to meet the quality standards established by the state. Accreditation by the state of Connecticut carries with it authorization to award specified degrees. The Connecticut Office of Higher Education licensure information can be found at the following link: http://www.ctohe.org/HEWeb/CollegesList.asp Regional Accreditation Post University is accredited by the New England Commission of Higher Education. Accreditation of an institution of higher education by the New England Commission of Higher Education indicates that it meets or exceeds criteria for the assessment of institutional quality periodically applied though a peer review process. An accredited college or university is one which has available the necessary resources to achieve its stated purposes through appropriate educational programs, is substantially doing so, and gives reasonable evidence that it will continue to do so in the foreseeable future. Institutional integrity is also addressed through accreditation. Accreditation by the New England Commission of Higher Education is not partial, but applies to the institution as a whole. As such, it is not a guarantee of every course or program offered, or the competence of individual graduates. Rather, it provides reasonable assurance about the quality of opportunities available to students who attend the institution.
