Quick Facts
Our Aim
The Board of Higher Education Accreditation (BHEA ) is located in Washington DC. Established in 1998 to
provide a consistent measurement of the acceptability of private schools (K-12), adult high schools,
vocational and technical schools, private colleges and postsecondary education.
Accrediting functions of the BHEA are performed by an Academic Review Board which was set up to
consider the quality of education and curriculum of different educational institutions. The member institutions
of the Board offer more than 500 different academic, vocational, and non-vocational courses through different
modes of communication, preferably via e-mail. These courses sometimes make use of specially written
learning texts while include audio-visual training devices, job enhancing materials, tools, computers and other
equipment on other occasions.
The aim of BHEA is to support the maintenance and enhancement of quality standards for distance learning
education. It promotes institutional self-improvement and aids its members in the quest for acceptance and
excellence. It accomplishes its mission by providing quality academic and technical education along with
customized industry training that is responsive to the workforce needs of both students and institutions.
The Board establishes educational, ethical and business standards while also examines distance education
institutions in terms of these standards. It accredits those who qualify through a procedure that is acceptable
worldwide and which has been continuously refined and improved over the last two decades.
All distance education institutions - public or private - located outside the United States are eligible to apply
for accreditation. The opportunity to apply is open both at the degree (Associates through the First
Professional degree level) and non-degree levels. Today, more than 1 million Americans are enrolled in BHEA-
accredited institutions. According to an estimate, some 130 million Americans have taken distance education
courses.
