What is the Higher Learning Commission (HLC)?
The Higher Learning Commission is Blue Ridge CTC’s accrediting body. In short, its purpose is to ensure the quality of our institution and program offerings.
What is accreditation?
Accreditation provides assurance that an institution has been found to meet, and will continue to meet, stated requirements and criteria. Accreditation also allows the institution to self-reflect towards continuous improvement.
Why is accreditation important to me?
Only accredited institutions are eligible to receive federal funds for higher education, including student financial aid. Accreditation also ensures students the ability to transfer credits between accredited schools.
