Using evidence-based data and data-driven results and continuous improvement outcomes from the university's planning documents, Shepherd University's self study will demonstrate how it complies with the standards of excellence set by the Higher Learning Commission in its criteria for accreditation.
The results from the site visit will allow Shepherd to reflect on planning for current and future strategic priorities through continuous growth, improvement and development.

Higher Learning Commission (HLC)
Shepherd University has been accredited
since 1950 by the Higher Learning
Commission of the North Central
Association of Colleges, one of the six
regional agencies that accredit U.S.
colleges and universities at the institutional
level. Accreditation provides assurance to the
public and to prospective students that
standards of quality have been met. A team from the commission will visit
Shepherd University during the 2011-12
academic year to evaluate whether the
University continues to meet the
requirements for accreditations.
