St. Louis Community College’s program that allows area high school students to earn college-level credits has been granted accreditation by the National Alliance of Concurrent Enrollment Partnerships (NACEP).
As the nation’s only accrediting body for these educational partnerships, NACEP’s standards serve as the model criteria for ensuring parity in faculty, course content, student outcomes, and support. Receiving NACEP accreditation means an institution has met the nation’s most rigorous standard in concurrent enrollment program development, management and evaluation across multiple, multifaceted program areas.
“The path to accreditation has truly been a team effort, buoyed by the passion and care of not just our STLCC staff and faculty, but our high school teachers, students and liaisons as well,” said Ellen Wottrich, STLCC’s district manager of dual credit/enrollment partnerships.
“The outpouring of support we received from St. Louis-area high schools as we prepared our application and hosted our site visit was tremendous. We are so proud of our program and every person involved with providing this life-changing access to affordable, high quality college credit.”
