Reaccreditation process update

As previously reported, and as part of AGMU's process of reaccreditation with the Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE), a structured framework was established to create a comprehensive self-study process, including a steering committee. Additionally, ten (10) working groups were established, each dedicated to one of the seven accreditation standards (1-7), along with three supporting working groups: compliance, evidence inventory, and the communication committee.
Over the past few months, these groups have been developing an Integrated Self-Study Report (SSR) review process consisting of three phases:

  1. Steering Committee review and recommendations – Completed
  2. Work retreat to incorporate recommendations and provide final feedback on the SSR draft
  3. Evidence Inventory revision and input from the university community

Last week, specifically Wednesday, September 4th, and Thursday, September 5th, the steering committee completed the two-day work retreat moving forward with the second phase. In the coming weeks, the self-study will be shared with the university community for their input and feedback.

The steering committee, which includes faculty, deans, associate deans, and directors, thoroughly ensures that the SSR complies with all seven standards, that the requirements of affiliation align with the university’s mission and priorities, and that the supporting evidence is robust. We are deeply grateful for their commitment and dedication to this crucial reaccreditation process for Ana G. Méndez University.

If you have any questions about the accreditation process, please get in touch with Mrs. Claudia Camacho, Director of Licensing, Compliance, and Accreditation, at clcamacho@agmu.edu or visit our dedicated webpage at https://www.agmu.edu/es/content/msche-agm-university.

Institutional Reacreditation Visit

A few days ago, we announced the appointment of Dr. Hubert Benítez as president of the evaluation committee of the reaccreditation process of Ana G. Méndez University by the Middle States Commission of Higher Education (MSCHE), our institutional accrediting agency. Following this appointment, MSCHE has identified the two dates of visits that are part of this process. The first visit called the preliminary visit, has the purpose of receiving the president of the evaluation committee, Dr. Benítez, who meets with different constituents of the institution to familiarize himself with the institutional culture, faculty, students, and administrators in addition to guiding the community on the process of reaccreditation and evaluation visit and to discuss issues related to the draft of the self-study document.

For the second visit to evaluate the reaccreditation self-study, we will receive a committee of about 7 to 9 evaluators assigned by MSCHE. During this visit, which lasts approximately three days, the evaluation committee meets with each institutional area, faculty, students, and administrators to exchange impressions on the submitted self-study document, clarify doubts, and thus complete their evaluations. The dates of visits established by MSCHE are as follows:
