An accreditation mill is an organization that purports to award educational accreditation to higher education institutions without having government authority or recognition from mainstream academia to operate as an accreditor. Implicit in the terminology is the assumption that the "mill" has low standards (or no standards) for such accreditation. Accreditation mills are much like diploma mills, and in many cases are closely associated with diploma mills. The "accreditation" they supply has no legal or academic value but is used in diploma mill marketing to help attract students.

dbo:abstract
  • An accreditation mill is an organization that purports to award educational accreditation to higher education institutions without having government authority or recognition from mainstream academia to operate as an accreditor. Implicit in the terminology is the assumption that the "mill" has low standards (or no standards) for such accreditation. Accreditation mills are much like diploma mills, and in many cases are closely associated with diploma mills. The "accreditation" they supply has no legal or academic value but is used in diploma mill marketing to help attract students. Some institutions obtain accreditation from an independent group with low standards. In other cases, the institution sets up its own seemingly independent accreditation board and then accredits itself. This gives the appearance that an outside group has approved the education that is offered at the school. In many countries, accreditation is a government function. In the United States, governments normally do not accredit academic institutions, but federal education authorities recognize about 18 private accrediting organizations for institutional accreditation of higher education institutions and more than 60 other private organizations for accreditation of specific educational programs. While standards vary from organization to organization, without recognition from the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) (a non-governmental organization) or the United States Department of Education, the claims made by independent groups hold no value in the academic community.

As fábricas de credenciamento são muito parecidas com as e, em muitos casos, estão intimamente associadas a elas. O "credenciamento" que fornecem não tem valor legal ou acadêmico, mas é usado no marketing da fábrica de diplomas para ajudar a atrair alunos. Em muitos países, o credenciamento é uma função do Governo. Nos Estados Unidos, os governos normalmente não credenciam instituições acadêmicas, mas as autoridades federais de educação reconhecem cerca de 18 organizações privadas para o credenciamento institucional de instituições de ensino superior e mais de 60 outras organizações privadas para credenciamento de programas educacionais específicos. No Brasil, o credenciamento e recredenciamento de instituições de ensino superior é feito pelo Ministério da Educação. (pt)
