Every eight years, UMB undergoes a reaffirmation of its accreditation with the Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE). The process is an opportunity to strengthen the University through a comprehensive evaluation.

More about the Middle States Process

During October 2024 members of the UMB community have the opportunity to review the current draft of the Self-Study document under preparation for the peer evaluation team coordinated by Middle States.

The draft Self-Study also identifies Opportunities for Improvement identified during the Self-Study process that would strengthen UMB's continued compliance with Middle States Standards for Accreditation and Requirements of Affiliation, consistent with UMB's Core Values and Strategic Plan Themes.
