The
North Central Association of Colleges and Schools
(
NCA
), also known as the
North Central Association
, was a membership organization, consisting of colleges, universities, and schools in 19 U.S. states engaged in
educational accreditation
. It was one of six
regional accreditation
bodies in the U.S. and its
Higher Learning Commission
was recognized by the
United States Department of Education
and the
Council for Higher Education Accreditation
(CHEA) as a regional accreditor for
higher education
institutions.

The organization was dissolved in 2014.

The primary and secondary education accreditation functions of the association have been merged into
AdvancED
with the postsecondary education accreditation functions vested in the
Higher Learning Commission
.
