Accreditation and Policies
Briar Cliff University is accredited as a degree-granting institution by the Higher Learning Commission and is a member of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. We offer several accredited programs that can lead to professional licensure and have several policies and procedures outlined below designed to protect the health and safety of our campus community and regulate the decisions, actions, and principles of our institution.
States vary in what professions they require to be licensed and how licensure functions. Some states require an individual to graduate from an approved program. Others require an individual to “meet [the] certification requirements of a national organization.” A specific amount of training can also be required as well as passage of an exam based on a state requisite exam score. Often, licensed professionals must complete continuing education on an annual basis.
