Middle States Accreditation

Toward 2025 Reaccreditation

The Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE) reviews the University's mission and goals, its performance, and its resources every eight years in order to ensure compliance with seven standards of excellenceFordham began its process of preparing for reaccreditation in Fall 2022. Since then, over 150 faculty, staff, and students have been working on a variety of working groups and teams and countless others have participated in meetings and surveys. 


THANK YOU!

Thank you to the Fordham community for your support and engagement during Fordham's recent Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE) Self-Study visit in early April 2025. We will receive our final recommendations from MSCHE in the coming months. We look forward to our future work together and continuing to build upon the substantive feedback we have received.

“A successful Self-Study not only leads to MSCHE reaccreditation. It should serve as an opportunity for the University to engage in a deep examination of our current practices, reflect on opportunities and challenges facing our community, and discern what steps we can take collectively to more fully advance our mission.”
