A school that endeavors to maintain a high level of academic excellence and service will take the time and effort to go through the accreditation process. Accreditation is required in order for a school to provide its students with access to federal and state financial aid programs.

The Swedish Institute's Massage Therapy Program is accredited by the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges of Technology (ACCSCT). Its programs are registered with, and regulated by, the New York State Department of Education.

The accreditation status of educational institutions that disburse financial aid is public information and prospective students have the right to inquire about it from schools they are considering, as well as from federal and state agencies.
