Rosemontās accreditation has been reaffirmed. MSCHE determined that Rosemont has provided sufficient evidence that the college meets all standards for accreditation and requirement of affiliation. Rosemont is required to submit a monitoring report due this summer, and the next accreditation evaluation will be the academic year 2028-2029. The Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE), Rosemont Collegeās accrediting body, removed Rosemontās non-compliance warning status at its November 16, 2023, commission meeting.
āI could not be more pleased with this outcome,ā said Jim Cawley, President of Rosemont College. āThe work continues. Assessment is and will remain an essential part of our culture. I am proud of our community and all we have accomplished. MSCHEās latest action is further evidence that Rosemont is continuing to move in the right direction.ā
A year ago, MSCHE issued a warning to Rosemont on two of seven standards and required the college to provide further evidence that it is compliant with Standard V (Educational Effectiveness Assessment) and Standard VI (Planning, Resources, and Institutional Improvement). Both standards emphasized the need for Rosemont to improve institutional assessment practices. Rosemont remained fully accredited during that time.
Over the last year, Rosemont has worked to respond effectively to this warning. Last fall, the College developed an institutional assessment plan, launched a strategic plan, and hired two new roles: a Director of Educational and Institutional Effectiveness and a Director for the Center of Teaching and Learning.
The College was required to submit a monitoring report to MSCHE in July to show that it is properly assessing educational and institutional effectiveness.
