About ACCSC
ACCSC was founded in 1965 as the Accrediting Commission of the National Association of Trade and Technical Schools (NATTS). In 1967, the Commission received recognition from the U.S. Department of Education as a private, non-profit, independent accrediting agency which confirmed the Commission's status as a reliable authority for the establishment of educational standards. In 1993, a division occurred between the accreditation unit and the association unit creating a new wholly independent organization - the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges of Technology (ACCSCT). In October 2009, ACCSCT relaunched as the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges (ACCSC).
