The 2006 Middle States Accreditation Characteristics of Excellence, which outlines Middle States’ accreditation standards. These include a number of significant changes since Rutgers’ last accreditation review, among them a considerably expanded requirement for measuring and documenting learning outcomes at the general education and major/program levels. This is a rather lengthy publication. You may want to focus particularly on Standards 11, 12, and 14, since these pertain to educational effectiveness and relate directly to the topical focus of our self study.
