Following three years of self-study, analysis, and evaluation by a visiting team of educators representing the Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE), IUP’s accreditation with the Middle States Commission on Higher Education has been reaffirmed.
The Middle States Commission on Higher Education is a global institutional accrediting agency recognized by the U.S. Secretary of Education and the Council for Higher Education Accreditation. Institutions are evaluated based on standards of accreditation and a multi-year, in-depth, university-wide self-review (self-study).
On June 26, 2025, the Commission announced its decision of IUP’s reaffirmation of accreditation.
