Contents

The State Council of Higher Education for Virginia defines four categories of degree-granting institutions of postsecondary education: public institutions, [2] established private institutions in good standing with a nationally recognized accrediting organization, [3] private and out-of-state institutions requiring certification [4] [5] and institutions exempt from state oversight for religious reasons. [6] Also exempt from certification are vocational institutions supervised by other state agencies, and institutions supervised by the federal government. All public institutions and most traditional private institutions are accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC). Other state-certified private non-religious institutions are accredited by a national organization, though a few do not have any accreditation. Some small religious institutions do not have accreditation.
