New England Association of Schools and Colleges
Quincy College is accredited by the New England Association of Schools
and Colleges, Inc. through its Commission on Institutions of Higher
Education. Accreditation of an institution of higher education by
the New England Association indicates that it meets or exceeds criteria
for the assessment of institutional quality periodically applied through
peer review process.
An accredited college or university is one which has available the necessary resources to achieve
its stated purposes through appropriate educational programs, is substantially
doing so, and gives good reasonable evidence that it will continue
to do so in the foreseeable future. Institutional integrity is also addressed through accreditation.
Accreditation by the New England Association is not partial but applies to the institution
as a whole. As such, it is not a guarantee of every course or program offered, or the competence of individual graduates.
Rather, it provides reasonable assurance about the quality of opportunities available to
students who attend the institution.
Inquiries regarding the accreditation status by the New England Association should be directed to the administrative
staff of the institution. Individuals may also contact:

National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission
Quincy College is also accredited by the National League for
Nursing Accrediting Commission (NLNAC). The NLNAC
is recognized by the U.S. Department of Education
as the national accrediting body for all types of nursing education
programs.
NLNAC supports the interests of nursing education, nursing practice,
and the public by the functions of accreditation. Accreditation
is a voluntary, self-regulatory process by which non-governmental
associations recognize educational institutions or programs that
have been found to meet or exceed standards and criteria for
educational quality. Accreditation also assists in the further
improvement of the institutions or programs as related to resources
invested, processes followed, and results achieved. The monitoring
of certificate, diploma, and degree offerings is tied closely
to state examination and licensing rules, and to the oversight
of preparation for work in the profession.
The Commission has authority and accountability for carrying
out the responsibilities inherent in the application of standards
and criteria, accreditation processes, and the affairs, management,
policy making, and general administration of the NLNAC.
