Is Concordia University St. Paul regionally accredited? - cavelady - 07-27-2015

I've started looking into Concordia University - St. Paul. They have some programs I'm interested in but I don't know if their accreditation is widely recognized.

I tried Google and from what I read, it is. But I trust you guys more than I trust Google. Smile

Here's a link to their accreditation page:

well their web site says

"Concordia University is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission"

so I googled
Higher Learning Commission

which took me here
https://www.hlcommission.org/

so I clicked on

I searched for
concordia
any state
and got this
https://www.hlcommission.org/component/directory/?Itemid=&form_submitted=TRUE&institution=concordia&lang=en&showquery=&siteOrg=&state=ANY&submit=Search

HLC appears to be one of the 6 accrediting agencies for regional accreditation so it looks like it is regionally accredited.
