In 1949, upon the formation of the Western Association of Schools and Colleges, the Commission voted unanimously to accredit institutions that were previously accredited by the Association of American Universities, North Central Association.
The WASC Member Directory lists each of the institutions that is accredited by, or has candidacy status with, WASC.
The directory provides a Statement of Accreditation Status for each institution. This statement provides additional information about the institution, including a link to a list of approved off-campus locations and distance education programs.
You may view the Statement of Accreditation Status for an individual institution by clicking on its name in the Directory.
For more information about the information contained in the Statement of Accreditation Status please review the Statement of Accreditation Legend.
