OSU is now participating in the new NWCCU 7-year accreditation cycle, which involves reporting every other year on different standards, rather than a single large report submitted once in seven years.
Oregon State University is accredited by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities (NWCCU), one of seven regional accreditation agencies recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation.
NWCCU accreditation is based on the university’s compliance with the five Standards for Accreditation published by NWCCU in 2010.
- Standard One: Mission, Core Themes, and Expectations
- Standard Two: Resources and Capacity
- Standard Three: Planning and Implementation
- Standard Four: Effectiveness and Improvement
- Standard Five: Mission Fulfillment, Adaptation, and Sustainability
