Kilian Community College is an independent, non-profit community college accredited by the Higher Learning Commission, a Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools, 20 North LaSalle Street, Suite 2400, Chicago, Illinois 60602-2501. Kilian received its first accreditation by the North Central Association of Colleges and School in March of 1986. Currently, Kilian is preparing for the upcoming Accreditation renewal process. Over the next two years students, staff and faculty will be participating in surveys, research and a self-evaluation process that will benefit the school and community in more ways than one. We encourage all those involved with Kilian in any way to come be a part of the accreditation process.
