Recognition and accreditation

Legal recognition

  • Higher Learning Commission (HLC)

    Institutional accreditation — Accredited · since January 1, 1974 · next review 8/31/2028

    Recognized by: U.S. Department of Education

    Authority in United States

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

The institution states: “Northwood University is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission.” Source: devos.northwood.edu · verified October 12, 2026

Legal recognition is what allows an institution to award degrees in its own country. Business-school accreditations (AACSB, EQUIS, AMBA and others) are voluntary quality reviews of the business school and do not automatically cover every program. None of these guarantees that a degree is recognized for employment or further study in every other country.

Online student services

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

Academic advising

Who can enroll

Where online students may enroll from, as the institution publishes it. Eligibility, recognition notes and professional-body statements are separate questions.

International students

  • Eligibility of international students for online programs may vary based on location and regulatory considerations.
