CRNAA is an alliance of six (6) accrediting agencies with a national scope whose objectives are to promote and inspire the continuous peer review and assessment of accreditation practices predicated upon ensuring the quality and integrity of postsecondary education and training and to ensure that the purposes and interests of accreditation, accredited institutions, and the students they serve are properly represented and fostered. CRNAA members are recognized by the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Education as reliable authorities on the quality of education and training offered by accredited institutions for the purpose of institutional eligibility to participate in federal student financial assistance programs. Accreditation is a private, voluntary, non-governmental, peer-review process. Accrediting agencies enhance the quality of education provided and promote institutional accountability by systematically and comprehensively evaluating institutions based on pre-established standards. The accreditation process determines if the educational programs offered to the public are as claimed with respect to objectives, contents, and results. The institutions accredited by CRNAA's six (6) accrediting agencies number 2,100 with approximately three and a half (3.5) million students educated and trained each year.
