North Central University Receives Highest Accreditation Renewal

Minneapolis, MN - North Central University is pleased to announce that the Higher Learning Commission, a commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools, has awarded NCU the highest accreditation renewal period possible - 10 years.

This renewal comes after three years of self-study and analysis of the institution’s programs, curriculum, and facilities. Following the period of self-study, a team of four higher education professionals came to our campus for an in-depth visit, seeking to verify all reported data. Their evaluation found that North Central is truly delivering the quality education that is promoted.

Dr. Thomas Burkman, Vice President of Academic Affairs, affirms that this process was a total community effort, with wonderful contributions from students, staff and faculty, as well as alumni and friends of the university. “The North Central University community can be proud of the educational experience it offers to its many students,” Burkman said. “This renewal of our accreditation reflects our ongoing commitment to quality in our academic and student development programs. We are blessed to have so many outstanding people working to serve students and their families.”

The North Central Association of Colleges and Schools is the largest regional accrediting agency in the United States and is responsible for accrediting some of the largest and most prestigious institutions of higher learning.
