Accreditation

Peninsula College is one of 35 community and technical colleges in the state of Washington. We are accredited by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities, (www.nwccu.org) and approved by the Veterans Administration for attendance by veterans under Public Law 550 and 894. Our accreditation was reaffirmed in 2003.

Accreditation is a form of independent review, designed to establish the uniform quality of educational programs. The most recognized accreditation in higher education is administered by regional accrediting associations—recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation and the United States Department of Education. The Northwest Association accredits colleges and universities in the states of Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, and Washington. The Commission's offices are located at 8060 165th Ave. N.E., Suite 100, Redmond, Washington 98052.
