Faculty, staff, and students are invited to join our first town hall on May 2 for the next cycle of the Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE) accreditation process.
The MSCHE town hall will take place May 2 from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. in the School of Pharmacy Lecture Hall (PH N203), 20 N. Pine St.
The MSCHE is one of seven institutional accreditors. This accreditation instills public confidence in institutional mission, goals, performance, and resources through its rigorous accreditation standards and their enforcement. Accreditation is a process of peer review that the educational community has adopted for its self-regulation since early in the 20th century. It is a voluntary process intended to strengthen and sustain the quality and integrity of higher education, making it worthy of public confidence. Special emphasis is paid to student learning outcomes and institutional effectiveness.
As part of the standard accreditation cycle, UMB must undergo an evaluation every eight years.
