The Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools first awarded accreditation to Rosemont College in 1939, and the Middle States Commission on Higher Education has most recently reaffirmed this accreditation in June of 2000.
The accreditation of an institution of higher education is the means of self-regulation and peer review adopted by the educational community. Middle States’ accreditation is an expression of confidence in an institution’s mission and goals, its performance, and its resources.
Accreditation is continued as a result of periodic reviews and evaluations, and we are beginning the process for the next middle states review with an extensive institutional self-study. We will be addressing the middle states standards through the lens of Rosemont's mission and history and we have developed questions to provide structure for demonstrating compliance with these standards, understanding our successes and challenges, and suggesting improvements going forward.
The design for this comprehensive self-study has been approved, and we are reaching out to the campus community to join us in this exciting process. We encourage you to learn about and respond to self-study issues, and we will keep you updated by posting information on the IWay and by providing information in campus meetings.
On behalf of the president we thank you for your support and involvement!
