Accreditation

Cascadia Community College is accredited by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities (NWCCU, 8060 165th Avenue NE, Suite 100, Redmond, WA 98052), an institutional accrediting body recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation and/or the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Education. 

 

Cascadia Community College Mission Statement:

Cascadia is a community college whose caring culture supports creative, comprehensive, culturally rich, technologically advanced, and learner-centered education that is environmentally sensitive, globally aware, and seamlessly linked with the community, area enterprise, and other educational institutions. 
 
Cascadia's Core Themes

Cascadia's Core Themes were developed out of an exercise done at Convocation in Fall 2010.  The core themes are Learning-Centered Education and Collaboration.

 

Learning-Centered Education is focused on providing education that is creative, comprehensive, culturally rich, technologically advanced, and learner-centered, while being environmentally sensitive, and globally aware.  It is the College’s belief that in order to support learners in this model a caring culture of engagement must be embodied by the campus as a whole. To foster that engagement and culture the word “learner” is expanded to include staff and faculty. ​

 

Collaboration is the term used by the College to define the seamless links with community, area enterprise and other educational institutions. The learning environment extends well beyond the edge of our campus and being part of a community makes us a resource for all learners, In support of our values and in keeping with its mission, Cascadia makes a consistent effort to fully bridge the gap across educational experiences for learners.
 

Cascadia Community College announces an on-site evaluation by Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities on April 30-May 2, 2012 in conjunction with the College’s Comprehensive Self-Evaluation report under the new NWCCU 2010 Standards.
