Accreditation of Purdue University’s West Lafayette Campus by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools
Updated 8/16/2000

Purdue University has been accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools (NCA) since 1913. As part of its most recent ten-year accreditation review, the West Lafayette Campus underwent a comprehensive evaluation on November 15—17, 1999, by a team representing the Commission on Institutions of Higher Education of the NCA. The evaluation team reviewed the campus’s ongoing ability to meet NCA’s general institutional requirements and criteria for accreditation. Based on the team’s report and recommendations, NCA has extended the West Lafayette Campus accreditation without reservation or stipulation until 2009-10.
