Middlesex Community College will undergo a comprehensive evaluation visit on October 7 and October 8 by a team representing the New England Commission of Higher Education (NECHE).
NECHE is one of seven accrediting commissions in the United States that provide institutional accreditation on a regional basis. Accreditation is voluntary and applies to the institution as a whole. The Commission – which is recognized by the U.S. Department of Education – accredits approximately 220 institutions in the six-state New England region as well as several American-style institutions overseas.
“The NECHE Self-Study process allows Middlesex to analyze and respond to how we can best serve the needs of our diverse population of students, which in turn, helps us strengthen our commitment to our mission of equity and access,” said Phil Sisson, MCC’s President. “I want to thank NECHE for helping us make improvements and expand on the excellent work we do here at the college. Thank you also to our community for your dedication to student success and making Middlesex a fantastic place to learn, teach and support our students.”
