About the Self-Study & Reaccreditation

Berkeley College has been preparing for reaccreditation by conducting an extensive Self-Study which has resulted in the generation of a Self-Study Report for Berkeley College New Jersey, and a Self-Study Report for Berkeley College New York. These Self-Study Reports have been shared with the Berkeley College community. The final Self-Study Reports submitted to MSCHE by December 1, 2026 and the MSCHE Standards for Accreditation and Requirements of Affiliation (14th Edition) serve as the basis for the evaluation by the MSCHE evaluation teams and the Commission.

The Self-Study is a major event in the life of Berkeley College. Reaffirmation of accreditation by MSCHE will demonstrate that Berkeley College New Jersey and Berkeley College New York are maintaining and improving their organization and structure, staffing, curricula, and support to offer the highest quality education to empower each student to achieve lifelong success.
