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 excellence.
Heading Down the Home Stretch
Fordham 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 sharing data points, anecodotes, and case studies that have shaped a comprehensive self-study detailing Fordham’s strengths and challenges in delivering upon its mission.

“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.”
- Dennis Jacobs, Provost
