The MSCHE is one of seven regional accreditors. Regional accreditors accredit entire institutions, not individual programs, units, or locations. The MSCHE is a non-governmental, membership association that is dedicated to quality assurance and improvement through a peer evaluation process. This process involves a self-study, a campus visit from a team of academics and administrators from other institutions, and a decision on the accreditation status of the institution.
