Moraine Park Technical College is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission (HLC).
College Accreditation
When you attend an accredited college or university, you can expect:
A Quality Education: Accreditation means that a college, university, institution or program meets standards of quality for faculty, curriculum, administration, library, financial management and student services.
Financial Aid Opportunities: You can only obtain federal financial assistance if your college or university has appropriate accreditation from an organization recognized by the United States Department of Education.
Credits that Transfer: If you ever want to transfer your college credits to continue your education, accreditation is an important factor when a college or university is deciding whether to accept transfer credits from your previous school.
The Higher Learning Commission (HLC) is an independent corporation providing institutional accreditation for degree-granting colleges and universities based in the United States. Institutions that HLC accredits are evaluated against the Commission’s Criteria for Accreditation, a set of standards that institutions must meet to receive and maintain accredited status.
Moraine Park Technical College participates in HLC’s Open Pathway. The Open Pathway follows 10-year cycle and is focused on quality assurance and institutional improvement. In year 10 of the Open Pathway, the Commission conducts a comprehensive evaluation and site visit. This will take place in April 2024 for Moraine Park Technical College.
More information on the Higher Learning Commission or the Open Pathway can be found at www.hlcommission.org.
