The Higher Learning Commission (HLC) is part of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools (NCA). NCA is one of six accrediting agencies in the United States that provide institutional accreditation on a regional basis. Whereas some agencies grant accreditation for individual programs—APA accreditation for Clinical Psy.D. programs for instance—HLC evaluates and accredits institutions as a whole. Recognized by the U.S. Department of Education, HLC accredits approximately 1,100 higher education institutions in a 19-state region.
