Founded
in 1895, The Higher Learning Commission North Central Association of Colleges
and Schools (HLC/NCA) is one of six regional associations that accredit
schools and colleges in the United States covering a 19-state region. The HLC
is responsible for assuring that colleges and universities meet certain
standards in terms of their missions, operations, and activities in teaching
and student learning, discovery and promotion of knowledge and service.

Clarkson
College is currently in the two year Self-Study process in preparation for
a Spring 2009 review for renewal of accreditation for the next ten years.
This study will provide the Commission with evidence that Clarkson College
fulfills the HLC criteria for re-accreditation. Clarkson College has
maintained continuous accreditation with HLC/NCA from 1984 to present. The
College also is celebrating 120 years of educating health care
professionals since 1888.

A new
set of criteria for accreditation went into effect in 2004-05. As a result, Clarkson
College is among the first institutions to be evaluated using recently
revised and adopted criteria which include: mission and integrity, preparing
for future, student learning and effective teaching, acquisition, discovery
and application of knowledge, and engagement and service.
