Accreditation

The North Central Association (NCA) is one of six regional institutional accrediting associations in the United States (each is named after the region in which it operates-Middle States, New England, North Central, Northwest, Southern, Western). These are the associations that grant membership to all regionally accredited educational institutions, including Harvard, Princeton and Yale. While independent of one another, the regional associations cooperate extensively and acknowledge one another's accreditation.
