Eight self-study teams address each of the Middle States standards as well as accreditation-relevant federal regulations:

(1) mission and goals
(2) ethics and integrity
(3) design and delivery of the student learning experience
(4) support of the student experience
(5) educational effectiveness
(6) planning, resources, and institutional improvement
(7) governance, leadership, and administration
