Accreditation
Under the umbrella of the Graduate School and University Center, the School of Labor and Urban Studies is accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education. In accordance with Middle States expectations, SLU has engaged in a comprehensive self-study that culminated in a visit to SLU by a team of Middle States peer reviewers in the fall of 2020. The self-study report addresses the seven areas identified by Middle States as standards for accreditation: mission and goals; ethics and integrity; design and delivery of student learning experience; support of student experience; educational effectiveness and assessment; planning resources and institutional improvement; and governance, leadership, and administration.
