Maine Media College will undergo a comprehensive evaluation visit November 6 – 9, 2022, by a team representing the New England Commission of Higher Education (formerly the Commission on Institutions of Higher Education of the New England Association of Schools and Colleges, NEASC). 

The New England Commission of Higher Education is one of seven accrediting commissions in the United States that provide institutional accreditation on a regional basis. Accreditation is voluntary and applies to the institution as a whole. The Commission, which is recognized by the U.S. Department of Education, accredits approximately 220 institutions in the six-state New England region as well as several American-style institutions overseas. 

In 2018, Maine Media College was granted candidate for accreditation status by the New England

Commission of Higher Education (NECHE) through its Commission on Institutions of Higher Education and was last reviewed in December 2020. Its accreditation status by the Commission encompasses the entire institution. 

For the past year and a half, Maine Media College has been engaged in a process of self-study, addressing the Commission’s Standards for Accreditation for its Application for Initial Accreditation. An evaluation team will visit the institution to gather evidence that the self-study is thorough and accurate. The team will recommend to the Commission a continuing status for the institution. Following a review process, the Commission itself will take the final action. 

The public is invited to submit comments regarding the institution to:

Public Comments must be received by November 9, 2022. The Commission cannot guarantee that comments received after that date will be considered.
