Accreditations

Accreditation ensures that a college or university meets the level of quality expected from a higher education institution. The United States Department of Education (USDE) recognizes accrediting agencies as authorities on the quality of higher education. The Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE) is a global institutional accreditor recognized by USDE and assures students and the public of the educational quality for its over 500 colleges and universities. MSCHE ensures that institutions meet the regulatory requirements for students to participate in federal financial aid programs.
