MIDDLE STATES EVALUATION TEAM TO VISIT CITY TECH IN SPRING 2008
New York City College of Technology (City Tech) has been a member institution of the Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE) since 1957 and was last reaffirmed for accreditation in 2002 during the regular periodic review.
An institution of higher education is a community dedicated to the pursuit and dissemination of knowledge, to the study and clarification of values, and to the advancement of the society it serves. To support these goals, institutions of higher education within the Middle States region joined together in 1919 to form the Middle States Commission on Higher Education.
Accreditation is the means of self-regulation and peer review adopted by the educational community. The accrediting process is intended to strengthen and sustain the quality and integrity of higher education, making it worthy of public confidence and minimizing the scope of external control. The extent to which City Tech accepts and fulfills the responsibilities inherent in the process is a measure of its concern for freedom and quality in higher education and its commitment to striving for and achieving excellence in its endeavors.
MSCHE accreditation is an expression of confidence in City Tech’s mission and goals, its performance, and its resources.
The evaluation process consists of two interrelated phases: a self-study, conducted by the college, and peer review, conducted by an external evaluation team. The peer review process begins when the Commission selects a team of experienced and appropriate practitioners to visit City Tech and conduct an on-site evaluation, based upon the college’s self-study report. The MSCHE evaluation team is scheduled to visit New York City College of Technology in March of 2008.
Members of the City Tech community are encouraged to read the self-study plan, located on the menu above, and send any comments or questions to Prof. Charles Scott, Co-Chair of the Steering Committee at selfstudy@citytech.cuny.edu.
