The Steering Committee directs the accreditation review process for IUP Middle States Accreditation 2016.
We represent the university to the Middle States Commission on Higher Education evaluation team, lead the subcommittees in implementing a universitywide Self-Study, and finalize the Self-Study report that will be presented to the MSCHE evaluation team.
The 2014-15 Work Plan for the Steering Committee and the Subcommittees is now available.
We're happy to answer your questions about accreditation review. Please email middle-states@iup.edu or a co-chair.
