Accreditation

  • Higher Learning Commission (HLC)

    Institutional accreditation — accredited · since January 1, 1974 · next review 8/31/2027

    Recognized by: U.S. Department of Education

    Source: ope.ed.gov · verified October 10, 2026

Business-school accreditation

No business-school accreditation (AACSB, ACBSP, IACBE) is on record. It is optional, and its absence does not make a program illegitimate.

Supplemental accounting accreditation

No separate accounting accreditation is on record. AACSB business accreditation does not mean the accounting program holds AACSB accounting accreditation.

Institutional, business-school and accounting accreditation are three different things, and one never implies another. Each record names its unit and scope as the source gives it.

Online student services

Services the university publishes for online students. Availability can depend on program and enrollment status.

Offerings we reviewed but do not list

This directory lists associate, bachelor's, master's and PhD programs in its subjects. These offerings were checked against official pages and fall outside that scope (certificates, associate degrees, electives-only degrees…).
  • Associate in Arts, Accounting & Finance transfer degree (Associate in Arts)Transfer degree in a business pathway for students continuing to four-year institutions; the page does not show an accounting-specific degree with its own required courses, so it was not recorded as a program.Source: dmacc.edu · verified October 30, 2026
