Middle States Reaccreditation

Middle States Commission on Higher Education

The periodic reaccreditation process with the Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE) is a comprehensive and collaborative process that ensures the quality and integrity of our institution.

Reaffirmation of accreditation occurs on an eight-year cycle, and it is a multi-year process. The Self-Study Report is a major step in the process, and it will detail how we commit to continuous improvement and demonstrate MCC’s compliance with MSCHE’s Standards for Accreditation and Requirements of Affiliation. Our Self-Study Report and On-Site Evaluation Visit, led by a team of MSCHE Peer Evaluators, is scheduled for Spring 2026.
