College of Staten Island Middle States Self-Study

    Starting in Spring 2020, CSI is launching its Middle States Self-Study, part of the college’s ongoing cycle of accreditation through the Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE). The Self-Study is designed to engage the entire College community and will provide an opportunity for CSI to reflect carefully on how we are fulfilling our mission and goals in alignment with Middle States standards. Through this process, we hope to identify opportunities for improvement and innovation in the years ahead.
