Accreditation Status
Middle States Commission on Higher Education
On June 25, 2020, the Middle States Commission voted to reaffirm Baruch College’s accreditation, which was the culmination of our most recent Self-Study process. The Baruch College Self Study 2020 was co-chaired by Assistant Provost Rachel Fester (who also served as project manager), alongside Associate Provost Dennis Slavin and Associate Professor of English Cheryl Smith.
Baruch College has been accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE) since 1968. MSCHE is an institutional accrediting agency recognized by the U.S. Secretary of Education and the Council for Higher Education Accreditation.
