The Middle States Commission on Higher Education is a unit of the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools. It accredits degree-granting colleges and universities in the Middle States region, including Delaware, the District of Columbia, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and several locations internationally.
A voluntary, nongovernmental, membership association, the Commission defines, maintains, and promotes educational excellence across institutions with diverse missions, student populations, and resources. It examines each institution as a whole, rather than specific programs. Stevens last received Middles States accreditation in 1998.
