Manhattan Area Technical College (MATC) will undergo a comprehensive evaluation visit May 1st-3rd by a team representing The Higher Learning
The Higher Learning Commission (HLC) is one of six accrediting agencies in the United States that provide institutional accreditation on a regional basis by evaluating an entire institution and accredititing it as a whole. The HLC accredits approximately 1,100 institutions of higher education in a nineteen-state region. The HLC is recognized by the U.S. Department of Education.
For the past year and half, MATC has been engaged in a process of self-study, addressing the HLC’s requirements and criteria for accreditation. The evaluation team will visit the institution to gather evidence that the self-study is thorough and accurate. The team will recommend to the Commission a continuing status for the college; following a review process, the Commission itself will take the final action.
MATC received continuing accreditation by the Commission in 2010 at the Associate degree level.
