Accreditation

Bellevue University is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools (NCACS). The NCACS is one of the six regional accrediting agencies recognized by the U.S. Department of Education, and the same organization that accredits Big 10 schools.

Signature Series

Bellevue University provides the 36 credits in the major and 9 credits in the Kirkpatrick Signature Series (the last two boxes above) all online and as part of a 15-month program (average of one class a month, 15 classes, 15 months). The program is in the cohort model, so you progress through the entire program with the same classmates. It also is asynchronous, so you do not have to be online at a particular day or time—you do the program as it fits into your schedule (as long as you meet the weekly deadlines).

Bellevue University values the training and education you already have earned and awards credit for law enforcement academy training (24 credits for police academy), military training, coursework from other accredited colleges, and many professional licenses. Bellevue University offers a free evaluation to show you how these credits fit into a degree program (the first two boxes above). If you need additional credit, Bellevue University has an Experiential Learning Assessment (ELA) program to help you earn credit for life experiences, or you can sign up for other online general education and elective classes.
