The Higher Learning Commission (HLC), the nation’s primary accreditor of degree-granting postsecondary institutions, has reaffirmed A-State’s accreditation for the next ten years. This decision is a testament to the university’s dedication to providing high-quality learning experiences and fostering a thriving academic environment.
The HLC’s rigorous evaluation process involved a comprehensive review of A-State’s academic programs, faculty qualifications, student support services, and institutional governance. The institution’s strong performance in these areas, coupled with its commitment to continuous improvement, led to the positive accreditation outcome.
“This reaffirmation is a significant accomplishment for A-State and reflects the hard work and dedication of our faculty, staff, and students,” said Chancellor Kelly Damphousse. “It demonstrates our unwavering commitment to providing a transformative education that prepares students for successful careers and meaningful lives.”
This accreditation reassures prospective students, current students, and the broader community of A-State’s dedication to academic integrity and quality. It also opens doors for the university to pursue new opportunities and partnerships, further enhancing its standing as a leading institution of higher learning in Arkansas and beyond.
A-State will continue to strive for excellence in all aspects of its operations, building upon this reaffirmed accreditation to ensure a bright future for its students and the communities it serves.
