Welcome current and potential students, staff, advisory and community members; Burlington County Institute of Technology Adult Education has completed the rigorous process of Middle States Association (MSA) and achieved MSA Accreditation as of Dec. 1, 2018.

Middle States Association is a non-profit organization specializing in the accreditation of private and public schools in the United States and abroad. 

One may ask what is Middle States Accreditation?  MSA is an external process that validates school quality and student achievement, and provides a focus for continuous school improvement. The Middle States Commission delivers one of the highest available forms of accreditation as one of seven United States Department of Education-recognized regional agencies. Many schools from the elementary through collegiate levels are Middle States accredited.  We are working toward MSA because we are committed to academic excellence for all adult education students. 

Accreditation is a process in which BCIT must undergo a self-study. The study consist of these 12 Middle State standards: Philosophy/Mission; Governance and Leadership; School Improvement Planning; Finances; Facilities; School Climate and Organization; Health and Safety; Educational Program; Assessment and Evidence of Student Learning; Student Services; Student Life and Student Activities; and Information Resources and Technology.  We are working as a team to gather information in these 12 areas and preparing for site visit from MSA. 

The accreditation represents our organization's commitment to providing adult education programs that meet rigorous external standards.  We are proud of this accomplishment we have made thus far and will continue to make progress as we grow and improve through this accreditation process.
