As an institution, Rutgers is fully accredited
by the Commission on Higher Education of the Middle States Association
of Colleges and Schools. That accreditation was renewed and endorsed
in 1993 at the time of its last review. The university currently
is engaged in self-study in preparation for the spring 1998 team
visit and review. The accreditation process is one of peer review
which requires an institution to define itself through an institutional
mission statement, and then reviews the institution according
to an array of criteria to determine if the institution is able
to successfully fulfill its mission. Apart from institutional
accreditation, certain schools and programs also undergo specialized
accreditation reviews, for example the Newark and Camden Law
Schools, and the New Brunswick and Camden Schools of Business.
