Caltech seeks accreditation by the WASC Senior College and University Commission (WSCUC) every decade. The institutional accreditation process is voluntary, non-governmental, and a unique characteristic of American education. The process supports institutions in developing and sustaining effective educational programs while assuring the educational community, general public, and other organizations that an accredited institution has met high standards of quality and effectiveness. Caltech's last accreditation site visit was conducted in Fall 2020 and the Commission Action Letter was received in February 2021. Additional information about the Commission's decision can be found in the 2021 Commission Action Letter. The next Accreditation Visit will be scheduled in fall 2030.
