This accreditation status covers Touro University and its branch campuses, locations, and instructional sites in the New York Area, as well as branch campuses in Illinois, Berlin, Jerusalem, and Moscow.
The Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE) requires institutions, including Touro University, to meet specific standards of accreditation that are outlined in its publication – Standards for Accreditation and Requirements of Affiliation.
Institutions are reaccredited every eight years. Reaccreditation requires preparation and submission of a self-study, followed by a site visit consisting of a team of MSCHE peer evaluators. Touro University began its self-study process in Spring 2022 for the accreditation site visit scheduled for May 2024.
