NGSU Earns ANSI Accreditation for Certificate Programs
NGSU has been named an American National Standards Institute (ANSI) accredited program certificate issuer - accreditation number, 0916. ANSI launched the new Accreditation Program for Certificate Programs (ANSI-CAP) to accredit organizations that issue education and training certificates to U.S. workers. NGSU received ANSI accreditation for its Homeland Security, Lean Six Sigma Blackbelt and Lean Six Sigma Greenbelt certificate programs and is one of only seven certificate issuers to have received this endorsement. NGSU is the only university nationwide to have received ANSI accreditation for its Lean Six Sigma certificate programs.
In June of 2009, NGSU was selected by ANSI as one of ten national pilot programs to develop a consensus as to what constitutes an "exemplary" certificate program. NGSU was selected for its role as an accredited higher education institution offering internationally recognized certificates.
ANSI is the voice of U.S. standards and conformity assessment systems. NGSU is the nation's higher education institution devoted to degrees, certifications and tailored programs for policy development, strategic management and data-driven assessment of quality systems.
