The Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools (Middle States Association or M.S.A.) is a voluntary, peer-based, non-profit association that performs peer evaluation and accreditation of public and private secondary/high schools and elementary schools in the United States and foreign institutions of American origin.

Its headquarters are in Center City, Philadelphia.[1]

Region and scope

The "Middle States Commissions on Elementary and Secondary Schools" (M.S.A.-C.E.S.S.) accredits public and private schools and school systems throughout the United States and it states it is active in more than 85 countries around the world.[2]

MSA used to accredit colleges and universities through its higher education commission. In 2013, that commission — the Middle States Commission on Higher Education — became a legally separate entity.
