TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) - Tallahassee Community College has announced that they have been certified to grant bachelor's degrees to local students.
With the recent addition of TCC's Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree, the college applied for the level II accreditation, which is for institutions that can award bachelor’s degrees.
The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges visited the campus earlier this week to review the campus' programs, particularly the newly added nursing program.
SACSCOC found in their review that TCC was fit to be a level II accredited institution.
TCC President Jim Murdaugh said, “This favorable review of TCC as a Level II institution is an extremely important step for the College. It is a credit to the hard work of our administrators, faculty and staff and allows us to provide more opportunities to our students and our community.”
TCC said that the change to a level II accreditation is expected to be formally announced by SACSCOC next year.
