About HLC Accreditation
Accreditation is a system of evaluating a college or university to ensure it provides a quality education experience.
The Higher Learning Commission (HLC) is an institutional accreditor, which means we evaluate the college or university as a whole, including its educational offerings, governance, operations and finances.
HLC accreditation applies to all of an institution’s programs, delivery methods and locations.
Resources for Students and the Public
HLC is here to help students navigate higher ed. We also welcome input from students, community members or other stakeholders about our member colleges and universities.
