Missouri State University’s regional accreditation is through the Higher Learning Commission. On a 10-year review cycle, Missouri State has been continuously accredited by the Higher Learning Commission since 1915. HLC accreditation is for the entire university not specific academic programs.
Accreditations
Academic programs having an accreditation review process with similar goals as the MSU program review are given the opportunity to utilize the accreditation process as its periodic review. Reports from the accreditation evaluators are used in a manner similar to reports from an external evaluator for further deliberation by the department/program which then prepares a response. While program review is on a seven-year cycle, accreditation varies from 5–10 years. Programs may use the accreditation cycle with approval from the provost and respective deans.
In addition to the college, department and specific program, information concerning the accrediting or certifying body, year first accredited, dates of past and future site visits, and links to evaluation reports may be found. Notification of accreditation letters are also available to view.
