The most recent on-site evaluation was in June 2018, when MSCHE acted to reaffirm accreditation and commend MVCC for the quality and self-study process and report. Beyond institutional accreditation, all professional programs at MVCC are accredited by specialized accrediting agencies.

MVCC has chosen to adopt the comprehensive self-study review model and will utilize the lens of the Mission Statement and Strategic Framework to focus the work to examine the College’s compliance with the Middle States Standards for Accreditation and Requirements of Affiliation. While an obvious intended outcome of the self-study process is to demonstrate compliance with Middle States Standards, the College will also focus on the institutional priorities identified through the strategic planning process. Therefore, the intended outcomes for the MVCC self-study are to:

1. Demonstrate how MVCC meets and exceeds the revised MSCHE Standards for Accreditation and Requirements of Affiliation and verify compliance with Accreditation-Relevant Federal Regulations;
2. Identify, through an evaluative analysis, areas of institutional strength and areas for institutional improvement to enable the College to better meet and exceed the five strategic goals;
3. Identify both strengths and weaknesses within College initiatives that are specifically designed to meet the five strategic goals and share findings with the teams overseeing these initiatives; and
4. Provide opportunities for College stakeholders to participate in the self-study process, making it as inclusive and transparent as possible.
