The Higher Learning Commission
Arkansas Baptist College is fully accredited by the Higher Learning Commission. The Higher Learning Commission (HLC) is a regional agency that accredits degree granting institutions of higher education based in the 19-state North Central region of the United States, including Arkansas. Institutions are evaluated against the Commission’s Criteria for Accreditation, a set of standards that institutions must meet to receive and/or maintain accredited status.
HLC’s Criteria for Accreditation reflect a set of guiding values. The accreditation process is based on a system of peer review. Approximately 1,300 educators from institutions of higher education serve as peer reviewers conducting accreditation evaluations for other institutions. Peer reviewers also serve on committees that make up the decision-making bodies of the accreditation process.
