About US
This is a trying time for both educational accreditors and institutions of higher education as they both work to meet accountability requirements for their respective constituents. EDaccelerated has a long track record of assisting institutions with addressing their accreditation needs, including research universities, public universities and colleges, as well as private and for-profit institutions as they work to strengthen and overcome institutional and programmatic accreditation issues.
OUR MISSION
EDaccelerated’s mission is to assist institutions of higher learning with improved processes, operations and culture that impact institutional effectiveness and accreditation. We are dedicated to a collaborative approach that engages the extensive experience of our team with the talents and uniqueness of the client.
