Accreditation of an institution by the New England Association indicates that the institution meets or exceeds criteria for the assessment of institutional quality. Assessments are periodically applied through a peer group review process. An accredited school or college is one which has available the necessary resources to achieve its stated purpose through appropriate educational programs, is substantially doing so, and gives reasonable evidence that it will continue to do so in the foreseeable future. Institutional integrity is also addressed through accreditation. Accreditation by the New England Association is not partial but applies to the institution as a whole. As such, it is not a guarantee of every course or program offered, or of the competence of individual graduates. Rather, it provides reasonable assurance about the quality of opportunities available to students who attend the institution. Quincy College is authorized by The Board of Higher Education of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to award the Degrees of Associate in Arts and Associate in Science and Certificates of Completion, and is approved by the Board of Higher Education for the training of veterans and their dependents.

Through this new partnership, via the newly negotiated articulation agreement, courses covered by the agreement taken at Quincy College count towards the bachelor's degree just as if they had been taken at the four-year university. This general articulation agreement supports all Quincy College majors providing a streamlined pathway to bachelor’s degree completion in science, technology, engineering, math (STEM) and health related fields. Under this agreement, Quincy College students must graduate with a strong academic record to attend the Northeastern University College of Professional Studies. Program specific articulation will be developed this spring. Quincy College and Northeastern University as separate institutions have developed curricula and programs working to fill the growing need for skilled workers in the STEM fields, particularly in Massachusetts. In addition, Quincy College has made capital investments of new laboratory space to support STEM skill development. Together, Quincy College and Northeastern University's Lowell Institute School will provide a simplified, streamlined, and innovative pathway from an associate degree at Quincy College to a bachelor’s degree from Northeastern University.
