Accreditation identifies legitimate institutions of higher education and their academic programs in the United States. As such, accreditation is widely accepted as a quality assurance indicator. Adherence to standards established by the members of the various institutional and specialized accrediting bodies is the benchmark for measurement of quality among the respective institutions and academic programs.

The Community College of Baltimore County is proud not only of its institutional accreditation by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education, but also of our many academic programs that are accredited or approved by organizations recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation and/or the United States Department of Education.
