Ensuring Respected Degrees

2020 Comprehensive Evaluations

The HLC comprehensive visit took place April 12–13, 2021. Institutional accreditation provides recognition that an institution meets certain quality standards and that credits and degrees earned will be respected by employers and other educational institutions. It facilitates transferability of coursework and provides access to student financial aid and certain federal funding opportunities.
