University Accreditation 

Southeast Missouri State University acquires its regional accreditation status from the Higher Learning Commission's Commission on Institutions of Higher Education. The HLC is one of six regional institutional accreditors in the United States, providing support for institutions across 19 states. Continuing accreditation requires each HLC institution to complete a comprehensive self-study and to submit to peer review on a schedule determined by the HLC.
