Middle States Accreditation

This countdown represents the number of days until the Middle States Peer Evaluation Team arrives at UDC for its formal site visit and comprehensive evaluation of the University, which is the final and most important step of the Self-Study process.

UDC earned initial accreditation from the Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE) in 1971. The university’s last reaffirmation of accreditation was in 2016. Every eight years, a peer evaluation team from MSCHE conducts a comprehensive assessment of the University as part of the accreditation cycle.
