Accreditation
Albertus Magnus College is accredited as a private not-for-profit institution of higher
education 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 New England Commission of Higher Education 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.
Inquiries regarding the accreditation status by the Commission should be directed
to the administrative staff of the institution. Individuals may also contact:
