Accreditation

Why Accreditation Matters

To ensure the quality of your education, SCC follows the criteria established by the Higher Learning Commission (HLC) in partnership with state and federal governments. 

Accreditation by HLC means:

  • SCC’s mission is clear and articulated publicly. Our mission guides everything we do.
  • We act with integrity. We are ethical and responsible.
  • SCC is committed to providing the highest quality education possible regardless of how it is delivered.
  • We constantly evaluate the effectiveness of our programs through processes designed to promote continuous improvement.
  • SCC’s resources, structures, and processes fulfill our mission, improve the quality of our offerings and allow us to respond to future challenges and opportunities.
