Accreditation refers to a certification that educational institutions undergo to validate the quality along multiple dimensions of their educational programs. Accreditation agencies are typically peer review agencies.
You are well-advised to focus your pick on those colleges or universities, which are properly accredited in your chosen field of studies. Your degree from an accredited institution is simply worth more.
The Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) lists the relevant accredation agfencies in the United States. CHEA states:
"The accrediting organizations identified in [our] directory are recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA). Recognition by CHEA affirms that the standards and processes of the accrediting organization are consistent with the academic quality, improvement and accountability expectations that CHEA has established, including the eligibility standard that the majority of institutions or programs each accredits are degree-granting."
