Palau Community College

Palau Community College is a post-secondary vocational/academic institution serving all of Micronesia. Beginning in 1972, it developed into a viable technical institution through a series of self-evaluations and accreditation visits from the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges of the Western Association of Schools and Colleges. In June 1977, Palau Community College was granted full accreditation by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges. Again in 1982, 1988, 1992, 1998, 2004, and 2010 after site visits and reviews of the institutional self-evaluation as required every five years, Palau Community College received reaffirmation of its accreditation status from the Western Association of Schools and Colleges. After the site visit and review of the institutional self-evaluation in 2010, Palau Community College received reaffirmation and was granted a six-year term. Palau Community College will be up for its next self study evaluation in 2016. The College has been accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) for the last thirty-six (36) years.
