Accreditation

University accreditation

Northeast Ohio Medical University is fully accredited by the Higher Learning Commission. The Commission is one of six regional agencies that accredit U.S. colleges and universities at the institutional level.

The University’s last site visit by a Commission team was in September 2022, resulting in a full 10-year reaccreditation, the most that can be earned.
