GBC Accreditation

Great Basin College is accredited by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities (NWCCU). GBC has been accredited by NWCCU since 1974 and was last reaffirmed in 2021. Regional accreditation recognizes institutional quality, effectiveness, and sustainability in fulfilling the institution's mission. An accredited college or university is one which has available the necessary resources to achieve its stated purposes through appropriate educational programs, is substantially doing so, and gives reasonable evidence that it will continue to do so in the foreseeable future. Evaluation of institutional effectiveness is addressed through accreditation.
