Indiana State Distance Learning

Indiana State University has been accredited by the Higher Learning Commission (HLC) of the North Central Association since 1915. Our goal is to ensure that ISU courses and degrees are of a quality and standard recognized by employers. In addition, we strive to ensure transferability of ISU credit to other colleges and universities, including graduate schools. The accreditation process promotes these goals and helps us to promote continuous improvement in higher education.
