Award Winning

Celebrating its 75th anniversary, the Northwestern University School of Continuing Studies has received a creative academic programming award from the University Continuing Education Association (UCEA) for the MMI program online format.

Accreditations

Northwestern University and the MMI program is regionally accredited by the Higher Learning Commission (HLC), a Commission of the North Central Association of Schools and Colleges (NCA)*. This regional accrediting body is recognized by both the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) and the United States Department of Education (USDE).

Regional accreditation is the primary type of institutional accreditation used in the United States. Some institutions hold national accreditation rather than regional accreditation because they are unwilling or unable to meet the rigorous standards of regional accreditation. Prospective students must be aware that many educational institutions holding regional accreditation do not recognize credits or degrees earned at institutions that are nationally accredited. Therefore, regional accreditation may be important for transferring from one institution to another partway through a degree program, or pursuing additional degrees at different colleges
