Wayne County Community College District’s Accredited Status Continued for Another Decade

Wayne County Community College District’s accredited status with the Higher Learning Commission (HLC) has been continued for another 10 years, resulting from a comprehensive evaluation by HLC peer reviewers performed last Spring.

The peer reviewers particularly called out the District’s fiscal responsibility and commitment to the communities it serves during the pandemic. “We are complimented and proud to again receive this affirmation of the world-class quality of our college District from the Higher Learning Commission,” said WCCCD Chancellor Dr. Curtis L. Ivery. “Our mission has always been to provide pathways to better lives through higher education.

The HLC’s rigorous evaluation of our District validated that our programs, faculty, facilities, and methods are excellently pursuing that mission.” The HLC’s peer review process is intended to provide colleges and universities with a critical evaluation of their purposes and their effectiveness in serving those purposes. The HLC also seeks to ensure that quality benchmarks are being met and that the college is engaged in continuous improvement processes, including professional development.

WCCCD successfully reaffirmed its accreditation from the HLC, meeting all required criteria with no findings.
