In a continuing pursuit of excellence, WCC has made the decision to pursue regional accreditation by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC). After six years of hard work by faculty, staff, and administration, Western Career College has achieved this goal. The Accrediting Commission of Community and Junior Colleges, in June 2001, granted WCC accreditation for the maximum six-year period allowed. The attainment of regional accreditation is a tremendous accomplishment of which the entire College community is proud.
