The Path To Excellence

The Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools (MSA) - among the premier accrediting associations in the world - pioneered the accreditation of colleges and schools in the United States more than a century ago.

Today, as the Association celebrates its 125th Anniversary, Middle States accreditation remains a prestigious validation of educational excellence and dynamic school improvement in traditional and nontraditional schools worldwide.
