The Middle States Commission on Higher Education is recognized by the U.S. Secretary of Education to conduct accreditation and pre-accreditation (Candidacy status) activities for institutions of higher education in Delaware, the District of Columbia, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, including distance education and correspondence education programs offered at those institutions.
MSCHE is also recognized by the Council on Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) to accredit degree-granting institutions which offer one or more post-secondary educational programs of at least one academic year in length in Delaware, the District of Columbia, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and other geographic areas in which the Commission conducts accrediting activities.
Much of the previous and successful accreditation, when referring to technology, centered around UD’s own Delaware Biotechnology Institute (DBI) as well as the new Science and Technology Campus (STAR) as wells as the Interdisciplinary Science and Engineering Laboratory (ISE lab)
The University of Delaware's Interdisciplinary Science & Engineering Laboratory (ISE Lab) is a hub of teaching and research on campus. The 194,000-square-foot facility brings together students and faculty from various disciplines to teach, learn and conduct research in a collaborative environment. Research provides content for the curriculum and students learn through the exploration of real-world problems. Completed in 2013, ISE Lab engages students and stimulates excitement about science and engineering.
The Delaware Biotechnology Institute (DBI) has the mission to facilitate a biotechnology network of people and facilities to enhance existing academic and private-sector research, catalyze unique cross-disciplinary research and education initiatives, and to foster the entrepreneurship that creates high-quality jobs.
The University's most recent acquisition is a 272-acre property that was formerly a Chrylser auto assembly plant. The Science, Technology and Advanced Research (STAR) campus is still being developed and currently houses the University's updated and expanded Health Sciences Complex.
