The Higher Learning Commission oversees the accreditation of degree-granting colleges and universities in nineteen mostly Midwestern and South-Central states, namely Arkansas, Arizona, Colorado, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, North Dakota, Nebraska, Ohio, Oklahoma, New Mexico, South Dakota, Wisconsin, West Virginia, and Wyoming. The headquarters of the organization is based in Chicago, Illinois. The United States Department of Education and the Council for Higher Education Accreditation recognize the Commission as the assigned regional accrediting organization.{{r|DOE-accrediting-agencies}}{{r|CHEA-regional-accreditors-2009-2010}} HLC grew out of the higher education division of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools (NCA). The NCA dissolved in 2014.{{r|HLC-about}} Criteria for AccreditationThe Higher Learning Commission has five major criteria for accreditation.{{r|HLC-2018-03-Criteria-for-accreditation}} They are: (1) Mission, (2) Ethics, (3) Teaching and Learning: Quality, Resources, and Support, (4) Teaching and Learning: Evaluation and Improvement, and (5) Resources, Planning, and Institutional Effectiveness. CriticismIn 2009, the Office of the Inspector General of the US Department of Education (OIG-ED) criticized the Higher Learning Commission's oversight of for-profit colleges and recommended that the agency consider "limiting, suspending, or terminating the organization's status."{{r|Kelderman-2009-12-17}} In 2010, the OIG reaffirmed their recommendation that the department consider sanctions for the HLC. It also critically reviewed the accreditation status of American InterContinental University and the Art Institute of Colorado, two for-profit colleges.{{r|Kelderman-2010-05-27}} In 2015, the OIG-ED issued a critical audit on the review process the HLC used while considering colleges’ proposals for competency-based credentials.{{r|Fain-2015-10-05}} See also
