Lewis-Clark State College has received a glowing accreditation report on its Fall 2009 Comprehensive Evaluation by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities.
The college had its 10-year accreditation reaffirmed with six commendations and only one recommendation in the area of assessment.
In the written report, the visiting NWCCU team complimented the college for an excellent self-study and on the improvements it has made since the last 10-year visit, when LCSC had a handful of recommendations.
The one recommendation this time around was for LCSC to continue to develop learning objectives and assessment to improve teaching and learning. That includes continuing to measure student success and to continue the ongoing development of the general education curriculum.
NWCCU, an independent, non-profit membership organization, is recognized by the U.S. Department of Education and the Council for Higher Education Accreditation as the regional authority on educational quality and institutional effectiveness of higher education institutions in the seven-state Northwest region of Idaho, Washington, Montana, Oregon, Utah, Nevada, and Alaska.
