HLC Accreditation

Higher Ed Quality Assurance

UW-Green Bay's accreditation status from the Higher Learning Commission.

UW-Green Bay’s accreditation status was re-affirmed after its 10-year Comprehensive Accreditation Review in fall 2021. In this process, the Higher Learning Commission (HLC), one of several organizations in the United States recognized by the U.S. Department of Education, reviewed the University based on several academic and practical criteria addressing the mission, educational quality and integrity, as well as compliance with federal regulations and academic progress.
