WCC is seeking accreditation from The American Academy for Liberal Education in Washington, D.C. This organization is recognized by the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Education as an association that accredits institutions and programs offering general education in the liberal arts. The process can take two years, although a pre-accreditation status can be granted sooner. WCC is also involved in discussions on accreditation with another accrediting organization and will, in any case, assiduously pursue all due requirements in order to achieve accreditation in a timely manner.
