Self Study Reports and Middle States
Evaluations

a self-study report every ten years. This is the summary of numerous
reports on all facets of the University. The visiting team from
the Commission on Higher Education of the Middle States Association
of Colleges and Schools reviews the self-study report in its assessment
of the University. The report of this visiting team is then reviewed
and formally issued by the Association's Commission on Higher
Education. The self-study and Middle-States Association reports
