VanderCook will be working with the Higher Learning Commission this spring to ensure that our accreditation standards are maintained.

As part of its ongoing effort to make the accreditation process responsive to a broad range of constituents, the Commission has integrated the federally required third-party comment process into its regular accrediting processes since the 1997-1998 academic year.
