AGENCIAS ACREDITADORAS
The Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE) is an institutional accreditor recognized by the United States Department of Education (USDE) that serves as an independent voice in higher education. MSCHE establishes equitable standards for accreditation with member institutions that advance the impact of accreditation in the ever-changing landscape of higher education and promotes educational excellence through innovation across diverse institutions.

MSCHE is proud of the role it serves in verifying the quality of higher education through peer review, assessment, and evaluation. MSCHE is an active partner in quality assurance through its service as a voluntary, non-governmental, membership association for institutions of higher education throughout the United States as well as globally.

The organization began in 1968 as a U.S. Department of Education task force, the Council on the Continuing Education Unit (CCEU). Their challenge was to determine: “Is it feasible to measure noncredit continuing education activities?” As a result of the research, in 1970, the CEU was born and standardized as 10 contact hours. The task force continued to grow and IACET was founded in 1990. And in 2006, the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) approved IACET as an ANSI Standards Developer.
Today, IACET uses the ANSI/IACET Standard, in-depth research on the learning process, and a global network of experts to inform further standards development. As a thought leader for the industry, it is our mission to assist continuing education and training providers to develop a framework for continuous improvement and a superior learning experience for adult learners.
