Accreditation Insights: Illuminating the Path to Educational Excellence

Founded by Dr. Laurie L. Shanderson, a senior academic leader with over 25 years of experience in higher education and accreditation, Accreditation Insights was born out of a deep commitment to demystifying the complexities of accreditation and compliance. After decades of firsthand experience navigating these challenges as a university executive, site visitor, and board member, Dr. Shanderson recognized a critical need: institutions require expert guidance, tailored strategies, and a collaborative partner who truly understands both the pressures and the possibilities of accreditation.

At Accreditation Insights, we do more than consult—we embed ourselves in your mission. Our “boots-on-the-ground” approach allows us to work alongside your team, designing customized plans that alleviate stress, streamline processes, and support successful outcomes for initial or reaffirmation status. Our diverse team brings interdisciplinary knowledge and a proven track record—serving institutions across North America, Europe, and Africa with no denials of initial or recertification by any agency. Whether you are a small private college or a large research institution, our commitment remains the same: helping you achieve and maintain excellence through accreditation, certification, and regulatory compliance.
