A year later, the college was accredited by the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges of Technology.

In 1993, the school was approved for degree-granting status by the Accrediting Commission of Career Colleges and Colleges to offer Associate of Occupational Studies degree programs in both health and business career fields.
