Our Accreditation

As the only community college in the Diahwa Valley basin and surrounding areas, Cow Eye Community College has held ongoing accreditation by the Higher Education Association of the Middle Association of Colleges and Schools since the middle of the previous century.

Cow Eye Community College’s accreditation further includes federal government recognition, making Cow Eye Community College’s students fully eligible for a variety of financial aid assistance, including grants, scholarships, and loans. Cow Eye Community College is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer. It is the policy of the College not to discriminate against and to provide equal employment opportunity to all qualified persons without regard to race, color, national origin, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, disability, historical context, or veteran status.

"Our future, Charlie, is as bright as that neon bulb illuminating this dim cafeteria. And like that bulb our future will be lived in a world of dull efficiency. In the future efficacy will be the currency of life. It will take the place of our humanity. For there will come a day when we will move faster and grow taller and live longer and know more - and without much reflection we will come to consider these things accomplishments. We will be able to conquer faraway concepts without ever understanding the inner turbulences of our own hearts. We will scale mountains that have never been reached and make technologies that have never been imagined. We will come to worship our innovations as gods. And innovation will become our god. And efficiency will be our creed. Progress will be our prayer. But the words of our prayers will no longer have sound. Our humanity will be traded for the spoils of novelty. And our souls will be sacrificed upon the altar of continuous improvement. In the future, Charlie, we will all be regionally accredited..."
