The Commission oversees Regional Accreditation for 156 institutions. Its decision-making body consists of twenty-six Commissioners who represent the public and the diversity of higher education institutions within the Northwest region. The organization traces its history to 1917 when the Northwest Association of Secondary and Higher Schools was formed. In 1974 the association changed its name to the Northwest Association of Schools and Colleges. In 2000 it became the Northwest Association of Schools and Colleges and Universities, which disbanded and split into two separate organizations in 2004 , with the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities handling the accreditation of institutions of higher education and the Northwest Association Of Accredited Schools handling the accreditation of primary and secondary schools.
