Waldorf University is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission (HLC). HLC is the regional accrediting agency for colleges and universities located in the midwest region of the United States. In addition, Waldorf holds membership in the Council of Higher Education Accreditation.

The Higher Learning Commission is one of six agencies in the United States that provide institutional accreditation for higher education. They provide institutional accreditation on a regional basis, evaluating an entire institution and accrediting it as a whole. Other agencies provide accreditation for specific programs. The Commission accredits institutions of higher education in a 19-state region, and is recognized by the U.S. Department of Education.

Note: Individuals with a specific dispute or grievance with an institution should request the separate Policy on Complaints document from the Commission office. The Higher Learning Commission cannot settle disputes between institutions and individuals. Complaints will not be considered third party comment.

Note: The RN-BSN completion program for a BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN NURSING at Waldorf University is pursuing initial accreditation by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education. Applying for accreditation does not guarantee that accreditation will be granted.

Note: All program-specific requirements and disclosures are listed on individual program pages.
