State Authorization and Accreditations
Our online students graduate as leaders not only because our academic programs are top notch, but because NCCU shares values, practices, and a commitment to quality with other diverse institutions in the Southern states, Latin America, and around the world accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC). So the quality of your education is a guarantee, not a guess. In addition to SACSCOC, individual academic programs may be accredited by specialized accrediting bodies. A list of NCCU’s accreditations can be found at https://www.nccu.edu/accreditation.
