Middle States 2022

Middle States 2022: Rethink. Reenvision. Reaffirm.

In the spirit of continuous improvement and innovation, every eight years CCBC engages in an inclusive self-study process to document ongoing compliance with the Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE) Standards for Accreditation and Requirements for Affiliation. CCBC is reaffirmed when the MSCHE Board of Commissioners validates that the college's institutional goals are achieved through self-examination and peer review. CCBC’s current accreditation process, Middle States 2022: Rethink. Reenvision. Reaffirm., began in October 2019 and will culminate in a site visit and peer review by an evaluation team in 2022.
