Accreditation
Higher Learning Commission
Ohio Wesleyan has been continuously accredited since 1913, when the University first earned accreditation from the North Central Association of Colleges (NCA) and Schools. That accreditation has since passed to the Higher Learning Commission (HLC), a historically regional accreditation agency recognized by the U.S. Department of Education. HLC emerged from NCA's higher-education division and today accredits approximately 1,000 member institutions across a 19-state region stretching from Arizona to West Virginia.
