۰ı (NCC) of the State University of New York has been accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE) since 1967. Middle States accreditation assures our students and the public of the educational quality of the college.

In Fall 2022, the ۰ıMiddle States Steering Committee drafted a Self-Study Design with input from community stakeholders, including students, faculty, staff, and alumni. The ۰ı2024-2025 Self-Study Design document was approved by Middle States, through its designee, Dr. Robert Bonfiglio, on May 30, 2023.
