Wagner College recently completed a self-study for the Middle States Commission on Higher Education, part of the accreditation renewal process that occurs every 10 years.

A team of evaluators from Wagner's peer institutions, led by University of Scranton President Scott Pilarz, reviewed the self-study and visited the College in March. Their report found Wagner to be in compliance with all 14 standards of excellence set by the commission. They also offered quite a few commendations, highlighting these areas for special notice:

  • The Wagner Plan for the Practical Liberal Arts.
  • The College's strengthened financial position.
  • Inclusion of students in institutional governing bodies.
  • Effective administrative reorganization.
  • Co-curricular programs supporting the Wagner Plan.
  • Academic departments' clearly stated learning outcomes and assessment procedures.
  • The College's multi-disciplinary approach to learning.
  • Its focus on ethics and values in learning communities.
  • Its emphasis on communication skills throughout the curriculum.
  • Its culture of academic assessment.

“In all my years in higher education, I have never seen such an encouraging and positive review,” says President Guarasci. “This report is a strong confirmation of the good work our faculty, staff, and students have been doing and of the College's direction as a leader in higher education.”

A copy of the entire report is available upon request. Wagner's self-study is available at https://wagner.edu/academics/provost/
