Brandeis University is accredited by the New England Commission of Higher Education (formerly the Commission on Institutions of Higher Education of the New England Association of Schools and Colleges Inc.).
Accreditation of an institution of higher education by the commission indicates that it meets or exceeds criteria for the assessment of institutional quality periodically applied though a peer review process. An accredited college or university is one which has available the necessary resources to achieve its stated purposes through appropriate educational programs, is substantially doing so, and gives reasonable evidence that it will continue to do so in the foreseeable future. Institutional integrity is also addressed through accreditation.
Accreditation by the commission is not partial but applies to the institution as a whole. As such, it is not a guarantee of every course or program offered, or the competence of individual graduates. Rather, it provides reasonable assurance about the quality of opportunities available to students who attend the institution.
Additional information about accreditation, including documentation of Brandeis University's most recent re-accreditation can be found on the Brandeis website at www.brandeis.edu/reaccreditation. Inquiries regarding the accreditation status by the Commission should be directed to the Office of the Provost at Brandeis University, Mailstop 134, 415 South St., Waltham, MA 02453-2728, or by email at provost@brandeis.edu.
