Working Groups
The University of Delaware Middle States Working Groups will contribute to the Self-Study Report and Evidence Inventory for the university’s Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE) accreditation review. Over a two-year period beginning in February 2019, the Working Groups will conduct a robust review and evaluation of the university’s programs, practices and policies relevant to their MSCHE Standard.
The Steering Committee is responsible for coordinating the work of all of the working groups and will also address Standard 1: Mission and Goals.
