Hey guys, I've been looking into Purdue University for my college choices, but I couldn't find any information about whether the school is accredited or not. Can anyone help me out with this? Thanks in advance!
Absolutely! Purdue University is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission (HLC), which is a regional accreditation agency responsible for accrediting degree-granting post-secondary educational institutions in the North Central region of the United States. Regional accreditation is the most recognized and well-regarded type of accreditation in the United States.
Additionally, many of Purdue's individual programs and colleges have specialized accreditations from various professional organizations. For example, their engineering programs are accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, and their business programs are accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB International). When choosing a program at Purdue, make sure to check if the program you're interested in holds any additional specialized accreditation, as this can be an indicator of quality within the specific field.
