MSCHE is recognized as an institutional accreditor by the United States Department of Education (USDE) to conduct accreditation and candidate for accreditation status activities for institutions of higher education, including distance education and correspondence education programs offered at those institutions. USDE recognizes accrediting agencies as authorities on the quality of higher education. Under the Higher Education Act’s (HEA’s) federal student aid programs, accrediting agencies recognized by the United States Department of Education must meet the Department’s regulatory criteria. MSCHE is a title IV gatekeeper, and many institutions access title IV through our accreditation. Part of the work of MSCHE is ensuring institutions remain in compliance with applicable federal requirements, including through their title IV responsibilities.
