Accreditation
Back to top
Marylhurst University carries regional accreditation, the
dominant institutional accreditation used in the United States,
from the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities.*
Marylhurst University's regional accreditation espouses more
rigorous standards than programs that hold national
accreditation.
Consequently, many regionally accredited educational institutions
do not recognize credits or degrees earned at nationally
accredited universities or colleges. This may impact students who
are midway through a degree program and intend to transfer or
pursue studies at another accredited institution. You are safe
with Marylhurst's reputation.
Our business programs carry specialized accreditation from the
International Assembly for Collegiate Business Education**
(IACBE), which is dedicated to enhancing the academic experience
through outcomes assessment.
