Accreditation Statement
The Benjamin Franklin Institute of Technology is accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC), Inc., a non-governmental, nationally recognized organization whose affiliated institutions include elementary schools through collegiate institutions offering post-graduate instruction.
Accreditation of an institution by NEASC indicates that it meets or exceeds criteria for the assessment of institutional quality periodically applied through a peer group review process. An accredited school or college is one which has available the necessary resources to achieve its stated purposes through appropriate educational programs, is substantially doing so, and gives reasonable evidence that it will continue to do so in the foreseeable future.
Institutional integrity is also addressed through accreditation. Accreditation by NEASC is not partial but applies to the institution as a whole. As such, it is not a guarantee of the quality of every course or program offered, or the competence of individual graduates. Rather, it provides reasonable assurance about the quality of opportunities available to students who attend the institution. Inquiries regarding the status of an institution's accreditation by NEASC should be directed to the administrative staff of the school or college. Individuals may also contact NEASC: Commission on Technical and Career Institutions New England Association of Schools and Colleges, Inc. 209 Burlington Road Bedford, Massachusetts 01730-1433.
