The Erie Business Center (EBC) recently was recognized by the Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools (ACICS) at its Centennial Gala in Las Vegas. EBC received three awards, acknowledging the school’s longevity, ongoing accreditation and contributions to post-secondary education.
The ACICS, based in Washington, D.C., is one of the most respected and longest-established national accreditors of academic institutions. Recognized by the U.S. Department of Education and the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA), ACICS accredits more than 900 private post-secondary institutions, as well as institutions offering associate’s, bachelor’s and master’s degrees in programs designed to educate students for professional, technical or occupational degrees.
EBC, which is recognized as an ACICS Founding Institution, is one of only five original ACICS-accredited schools — along with Everest Institute of Pittsburgh, Miami Jacobs Career College, Minneapolis Business College, and Spencerian College of Louisville, Kentucky. In operation for 128 years, EBC received an award for being part of the ACICS Centennial Century Club and also was distinguished for remaining an ACIC-accredited institution for 50 or more years.
