Gettysburg College is accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education. The re-accreditation process is centered on an institutional self-study leading up to a campus visit by Middle States external evaluators. The College’s most recent self-study evaluation was in 2023-2024, which was concluded with an external evaluation team visit during the spring of 2024. Based on the institutional self-study and the external evaluation team report, the Commission (MSCHE) reaffirmed accreditation of Gettysburg College.
The self-study process is a chance to review progress and areas for improvement in all of the College’s operations—from academics to administrative practices, and is an opportunity to strengthen the College through a comprehensive evaluation.
The next self-study evaluation visit is scheduled for 2031-2032.
