Accreditation is important for financial aid purposes, transferring credits, as well as sitting for licensing exams or other industry certifications. Many employers also consider degree accreditation when making hiring decisions. UCF is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC), and many of our degree programs have met accreditation standards within their specific areas.
