Accreditation
AQIP to Open Pathways
Washington State College of Ohio is accredited through the Higher Learning Commission (HLC). In the past, WSCO participated in the Academic Quality Improvement Program (AQIP) which required the college to plan and execute action projects that aligned with accreditation standards and expectations. In 2018, WSCO was moved to the Open Pathway from AQIP. The Open Pathway allows WSCO to complete a mid-cycle assurance review and then design and implement a Quality Initiative project that aligns with the institution’s needs and aspirations.
