Accreditation of an institution by the New England Commission of Higher Education indicates that the institution meets or exceeds criteria for the assessment of institutional quality. Assessments are periodically applied through a peer group review process. An accredited school or college is one which has available the necessary resources to achieve its stated purpose through appropriate educational programs, is substantially doing so, and gives reasonable evidence that it will continue to do so in the foreseeable future. Institutional integrity is also addressed through accreditation. Accreditation by the New England Commission of Higher Education is not partial but applies to the institution as a whole. As such, it is not a guarantee of every course or program offered, or of the competence of individual graduates. Rather, it provides reasonable assurance about the quality of opportunities available to students who attend the institution. Quincy College is authorized by The Board of Higher Education of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to award the Degrees of Associate in Arts and Associate in Science and Certificates of Completion, and is approved by the Board of Higher Education for the training of veterans and their dependents.

As one of two municipal two-year colleges in the nation, Quincy presents an interesting case study of how a community college fared under city school board governance. This dissertation explores Quincy's history, the movement from individual control, clashes of organizational culture between the college and school system, and factors that ultimately forced the college's separation. Chapters include the following: (1) Introduction;(2) Related Literature; (3) Individual Leadership and Control: 1948-1986;(4) The Institution Comes of Age: 1985-1991;(5) Struggle Towards Resolution: 1991-1996;(6) Divergent Paths: An Analysis of Change at Quincy College; and (7) Implications: The Road Not Taken. An epilogue reviews events occurring from 1996 and 1997, such as the college's re-accreditation and the layoff of many of the college's senior leaders. Appended are enrollment statistics, and three charts illustrating Quincy's history. (Contains 74 references).

Through a new articulation agreement between the two colleges, Quincy College graduates will be able to make a seamless transition into ENC’s Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Management program. Students will be accepted on a rolling basis into the 30-month BA program, which follows a cohort model whereby classes meet once a week for six weeks. The first cohort through the partnership with Quincy College begins April 4 at ENC’s Old Colony Campus in Quincy. A cohort based at Quincy College’s Plymouth Campus will begin in the fall. The partnership developed after both institutions recognized a local need for higher education programs that would enable associate’s degree graduates who live on the South Shore to continue their education locally. “Eastern Nazarene College is very excited about our new partnership with Quincy College,” said Dr. Jossie Owens, vice president for ENC’s Adult and Graduate Studies Division. “Our joint partnership will further enhance our students’ local community experiences and at the same time broaden their academic and social development in preparing them to be global change agents.” Mary Burke, Quincy College’s vice president of academic and administrative affairs and dean of the Plymouth Campus, added, “Quincy College is happy to partner with Eastern Nazarene, providing a pathway to success for our students to pursue a bachelor’s degree in Management.
