Institutional Accreditation

The Higher Learning Commission (HLC), is an independent corporation that accredits institutions in the North Central region of the U.S, and is the regional body that accredits the ºÚÁÏרÇø (ºÚÁÏרÇø). HLC is recognized by the U.S. Department of Education and the Council for Higher Education Accreditation. Seven regional bodies accredit degree-granting post-secondary institutions throughout the United States, one of which is HLC.

HLC provides several different pathways to reaccreditation. ºÚÁÏרÇø participates in the Open Pathway process, which takes place in ten-year cycles and includes a mid-cycle assurance review, a late-cycle quality initiative, and a comprehensive review. At the end of each ten-year cycle, a visiting team of HLC peer reviewers visits the College. ºÚÁÏרÇø’s next ten year review is scheduled for 2025.
