North Central Association of Colleges and Schools Accreditation 
In February 2004 Earlham College received its 10-year accreditation with a very positive review. This means that Earlham has been continuously accredited by the Higher Learning Commission (HLC) of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools since 1913. Founded in 1895, the Association is a membership organization for educational institutions committed to developing and maintaining high standards of excellence. One of six regional institutional accrediting associations in the United States, the Association grants membership to a 19-state North Central region. The Association has scheduled Earlham’s next comprehensive visit for 2013-14. The Accreditation Process 
During the year preceding the 2004 accreditation visit, Sara J. Penhale (right), science librarian and associate professor of biology, convened a faculty committee that led the College community in conducting a thorough and critical study of its academic and administrative accomplishments, strengths and weaknesses, and strategic plans for the future. Widely consultative in nature, the committee reviewed extensive empirical data and evaluative reports from each academic department and administrative unit. The resulting Institutional Self-Study summarized Earlham’s progress toward fulfilling its mission since its 1993 accreditation review. |
