Abstract	The report presents the findings of an investigation into the trends and issues concerning accreditation of professionals and institutions of higher education in the United States. In late 1988 and early 1989, the study examined the accreditation of courses in nursing, engineering, and teacher education, and the accreditation of institutions in three eastern states. Information is provided from the Council on Postsecondary Accreditation, together with seven universities and colleges preparing for professional or institutional accreditation visits in 1989. Additional discussions held at other institutions and with other individuals who had experience (including at the research level) with accreditation are also provided. Although the report can provide insights that may be helpful to other countries that are moving towards the accreditation process, its primary focus is on aspects of accreditation that may be of specific interest in the United Kingdom. A brief appendix provides additional information sources concerning accreditation. Contains 36 references. (GLR)
