What are accreditation standards?
Middle States representative members conduct periodic reviews of the standards to be used for all accredited members. These standards are not to be confused with learning, curriculum, or content standards established by each state for the schools within its jurisdiction. Composed of those features of a quality educational institution, accreditation standards vary depending on the type of institution or accreditation desired. All member institutions are required to conduct a self-evaluation of those standards as part of the accreditation process, and the standards are the lens through which accreditation decisions are made. For a full listing of the four sets of standards currently used by CSS, CIWA, and CES institutions, please visit the standards section of our publication page.
