Why Does Middle States Matter?
The Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE), whose offices are located in Philadelphia, is an internationally recognized organization that evaluates degree-granting institutions of higher education and assists institutions to improve their programs and services.
The degrees we grant at ACCC would have little meaning without the stamp of approval from Middle States. Many of our students transfer to four-year schools and go on for graduate degrees and because our college is accredited by Middle States, those other colleges and universities do not question the validity of our graduates’ credits.
The academic programs and services provided at Atlantic Cape are reviewed every ten years to ensure they are up to the standards set by Middle States for all degree-granting institutions in their geographic region. The Middle States standards are outlined in their publication, Characteristics of Excellence in Higher Education: Eligibility Requirements and Standards for Accreditation (this can be downloaded from the Middle States Web site at www.msche.org.
Middle States reaffirmed ACCC's accreditation in March of 2008.
