POWELL, WYOMING – The National Association of Schools of Art and Design (NASAD) has announced its renewal of accreditation for Northwest College, granting formal approval of the Photographic Communications A.A.S. degree program. The notification brings to a close the comprehensive evaluation process that began in 2021.

The NASAD Commission voted to grant renewal of membership, stating, “The institution is commended for its detailed narrative and thorough documentation presented in the application for Plan Approval and Final Approval for Listing for the degree, Associate of Applied Science-2 year: Photographic Communications. NASAD appreciates the institution’s extraordinary efforts clearly evident in its application.”

The approval process demonstrates both the strength of the programs under evaluation, as well as the health and strength of the administration supporting those programs. Northwest College also offers an Associate of Arts in Art, an Associate of Arts in Graphic Design, and Associate of Applied Science in Graphic Design as part of its NASAD degree listings.

The next full review takes place in the 2031-32 academic year.
