Self-Study
Central to the accreditation process is a self-study, which reflects on institutional priorities, standards established by Middle States, and requirements of affiliation, including federal regulations. The self-study reports analytically-based inquiry and reflection on these points; conclusions, including strengths and challenges, with references to these criteria; and opportunities for ongoing institutional improvement.
Supplemental Information Reports
