Abstract

<p>　 Compliance with the Japanese national policy of credit hours has become an urgent issue in respect of both the external governance of the higher education system and the internal management of higher education institutions. The same is true for higher education in the United States. Witnessing the steady emergence of online courses and the inconvenient facts about the study time found through student surveys, the need to make an accurate assessment of the amount of time required of students to enable higher education institutions to confer credit hours has been an important issue since the turn of the century.</p><p>　 Focusing on the Federal Rule on higher education program integrity issued in 2010, this paper aims to explain how the regulative power of external regulators, such as Federal government or accreditors, is implemented in respect of higher education institutions. For this discussion, the paper tries to identify the significance of the fact that the functions of accrediting bodies have been embraced into the regulative mechanism performed by the Federal government.</p>
