Accreditation is a process by which professional institutions have their qualifications and operations verified and validated, according to a specific set of standards that are set forth by an accreditation agency, with respect to state and federal regulations. Accreditation standards involve nearly every aspect of an institution’s operation, and often extend beyond what is required by law.
Glen Dow Academy is nationally accredited by the National Accrediting Commission of Cosmetology Arts and Sciences (NACCAS), and has maintained accreditation since being originally accredited in September of 1970. NACCAS is recognized by the US Department of Education as a national agency for the institutional accreditation of post-secondary schools and departments of cosmetology arts and sciences, including specialized schools. NACCAS currently accredits roughly 1,300 institutions across the United States.
