About Accreditation and the Higher Learning Commission
Accreditation is important because it assures the public of the integrity and quality of MCC's programs and services, ensures that the college can hire highly qualified faculty and staff, enables students to obtain financial aid and veteran's services, and allows the college to receive funding through federal grants.
The Accreditation Process
Muskegon Community College has been accredited by the Higher Learning Commission of NCA since 1929.
College and universities are evaluated every ten years and/or periodically as necessary to maintain accreditation.
MCC is currently undergoing a two-year comprehensive self-study process, which will culminate in a self-study report submitted to the Commission and in a visit in 2010 from peer reviewers representing HLC/NCA.
The goals of the review team will be to evaluate and confirm how well all areas of the college meet the criteria for accreditation, and to provide advice on how the college might improve its programs and services in the future.
