Accreditation

Middle States Commission on Higher Education

SUNY Canton is accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE) and is currently in the process of being reaccredited. The College’s current decennial reaccreditation process began in 2011 with the creation of a Middle States Steering Committee to guide the campus’s Self-Study and subsequent reporting to MSCHE. With the guidance of the Steering Committee and the efforts of multiple campus work groups, the research phase of the Self-Study was completed in January 2012. The current draft of the Self-Study reflecting the work and input from a large number of campus stakeholders is available below. After collecting input from the larger campus community in Fall 2012, the Steering Committee will continue to refine the current Self-Study and further organize supporting documentation in preparation for the MSCHE evaluation team visit in Spring 2013.

The Middle States Commission on Higher Education is a voluntary, non-governmental organization that defines, maintains, and promotes educational excellence, examining the institution as a whole through the lens of the fourteen Characteristics of Excellence.
