Accredited
Accreditation
SCC is institutionally accredited by ABHES and authorized to operate in Illinois by IBHE.
Accreditation and authorization
State Career College holds two key approvals that matter for students: institutional accreditation through ABHES and state authorization through IBHE.
ABHES — institutional accreditation
SCC is accredited by the Accrediting Bureau of Health Education Schools (ABHES), a U.S. Department of Education-recognized accreditor specializing in health education institutions. ABHES accreditation is the basis for SCC students to access federal financial aid and is renewed through periodic site visits and self-study reviews.
IBHE — state of Illinois authorization
SCC is approved by the Illinois Board of Higher Education (IBHE), Division of Private Business and Vocational Schools. IBHE authorization is required for any private postsecondary institution operating in Illinois and is the consumer-protection layer that backs each program SCC offers.
