Accreditations and Memberships

North Central Association
Taylor University Fort Wayne is accredited by The Higher Learning Commission and a member of the North Central Association (NCA) . The North Central Association is designed to assess the academic quality of the institutions in its membership. This organization assures students that the education they receive is of the highest quality and caliber.

Contacts for North Central acceptance were initiated in late 1930s during the 14-year administration of President Robert Stuart. Final acceptance came under President Clyde W. Meredith’s administration in 1947. Taylor has since been a member of the Commission on Institutions of Higher Education of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. The institution had an NCA focused visit in 1992 at the time of the Summit Christian College merger/acquisition. In 1997, the institution received a 10-year unqualified reaccreditation through 2006. A 1998 NCA focused visit resulted in the approval of three associate of arts degree programs being offered through distance delivery methods.
