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.

Reaccreditation Visit Update: A Moment to Appreciate Our Collective Work

We are pleased to share that the Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE) peer evaluation team completed its reaccreditation visit to MCC, and the team shared highlights from its preliminary report with the College yesterday. This milestone represents the culmination of years of preparation, reflection, and collaboration across the institution, and it is a moment worthy of pride and appreciation. I would like to acknowledge and express my gratitude to our Co-Chairs, Dr. Natasha Chen, Dr. William Dixon, and our Accreditation Liaison Officer, Dr. Terrance Keys, for all of their effort.
