The University Committee on Accreditation coordinates institutional knowledge and expertise to ensure Lindenwood University is consistently meeting all standards and expectations for institutional accreditation with the Higher Learning Commission (HLC). This includes connecting accreditation activities with HLC’s 2025 EVOLVE strategic plan organized around Equity, Vision, Outcomes, Leadership, Value, and Engagement. Additionally, the Committee provides an opportunity for Colleges and units with specialized accreditations and certifications to communicate progress and engage resources for assistance.
The accreditation process is an opportunity for all stakeholders to contribute to the ongoing improvement and success of Lindenwood University.
