MSCHE is an institutional accrediting agency recognized by the U.S. Secretary of Education and the Council for Higher Education Accreditation.
McDaniel College's accreditation was reaffirmed by MSCHE on November 6, 2023, following an extensive self-study process. McDaniel College has been accredited by MSCHE since 1922.
Middle State Commission on Higher Education is McDaniel’s accrediting body. Accreditation is a voluntary review process that demonstrates that we are providing an excellent education in accordance with our mission. Maintaining accreditation is necessary for institutions to gain access to Title IV federal financial aid funding. It can also be a factor for students who are seeking acceptance to graduate school, various credentialing exams and professional licensure, and employment opportunities.
MSCHE requires members to complete a self-study process every eight years, concluding in a site visit by a team of higher education peers.
MSCHE Statement on the Purpose of Accreditation
“The Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE), through accreditation, mandates that its member institutions meet rigorous and comprehensive standards, which are addressed in the context of the mission of each institution and within the culture of ethical practices and institutional integrity expected of accredited institutions. In meeting the quality standards of MSCHE accreditation, institutions earn accredited status, and this permits them to state with confidence: “Our students are well-served; society is well-served.”
