Middle States Accreditation Process

Home  >  About  >  AUS at a Glance  >  Accreditation  >  Middle States Accreditation Process

AUS has been accredited in the United States of America by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education (3624 Market Street, Philadelphia, PA 19104, USA, Tel +1 215 662 5606) since June 2004. The Middle States Commission on Higher Education “assures students and the public of the educational quality of higher education. The Commission's accreditation process ensures institutional accountability, self-appraisal, improvement, and innovation through peer review and the rigorous application of standards within the context of institutional mission.” 

AUS has submitted to the Commission a self-study as part of the regular decennial review process. The AUS Steering Committee and Work Groups comprising students, staff and faculty have prepared this self-study through consideration of many sources of information, including input from members of the AUS community. The Middle States accrediting team visited AUS March 24–26, 2019. The Commission will report their decision in June or July 2019. Professor Dana Abouelnasr is the chair of the Steering Committee who guided AUS through this process. Please contact Dr. Abouelnasr ([email protected]) with any questions.
