WSCUC
The Western Association of Schools and Colleges Senior College and University Commission (WSCUC) is one of six regional accrediting agencies in the United States that accredit public and private higher education institutions.
The purpose of WSCUC is to ensure that an institution has the capacity (infrastructure, decision-making processes and resources) and educational effectiveness (ability to deliver curriculum) to sustain itself.
