Accreditation
Foundational to the Higher Learning Commission criteria and core components is a set of Assumed Practices that are shared by institutions of higher education. One such practice is to demonstrate responsibility for the quality of our educational programs, to evaluate their effectiveness, and to promote continuous improvement.
An example of this Assumed Practice is applying to a recognized and specialized accrediting agency. The following academic units obtained accreditations for their programs, laboratories, research centers, departments or schools.
