Accreditation by the Higher Learning Commission (HLC)

All degree programs at Roosevelt are accredited by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. North Central is the largest of six regional associations, recognized by the United States Secretary of Education and the Committee on Recognition of Postsecondary Accreditation, whose mission is to establish standards for institutions of higher education and to ensure continuous improvement of programs.

We will be eligible for reaccreditation in 2006. The site team will be on campus April 10-12, 2006. Click here for the University Self-Study Report.
