MCTC is accredited through the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools, North LaSalle St. Suite 2400, Chicago, IL 60602-2504; Phone: 800-621-7440 / 312-263-0456.   MCTC participates in the Academic Quality Improvement Program (AQIP) of the Higher Learning Commission which emphasizes two purposes for accreditation: assuring quality and stimulating improvement. AQIP infuses the principles of continuous quality improvement and systems thinking into the academic culture.

MCTC is scheduled for reaffirmation of accreditation in 2009-2010. From March 25 to 27, 2009, a two member team from the Higher Learning Commission visited MCTC for a Quality Check-Up Visit. The resulting positive Quality Check-Up Report outlines the findings of the team. Subsequently, MCTC has submitted a Quality Highlights Report outlining the most significant improvements, changes and results since the March visit.

Prior to the visit, a Federal Compliance Materials Packet was prepared to report on the college's compliance with federal laws and regulations of the United States Department of Education.  Additionally, MCTC prepared a Quality Program Summary outlining the institution's continuous quality improvement journey.
