Fort Collins, CO // June 5, 2025: U.S. Career Institute, a leading distance education provider, offering high school education and in-demand career training certificate and associate degree programs, has been awarded Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE) accreditation for its high school program. This designation recognizes program excellence and adherence to education standards and regulations.
The Middle States Commission on Higher Education (https://www.msche.org/) is a global institutional accreditor recognized by the United States Secretary of Education. As an accreditor and member of the regulatory triad, MSCHE assures students and the public of the educational quality for its over 500 institutions of higher education. The Commission’s accreditation process ensures institutional accountability, self-appraisal, improvement, and innovation through peer review and the rigorous application of standards within the context of institutional mission.
“We are proud to be recognized as a DEAC and MSCHE accredited institution,” commented Megan Bowen, High School Director at U.S. Career Institute. “This milestone further validates our commitment to educational excellence and creating an environment that allows our students to achieve their educational and career goals.”
As an MSCHE accredited institution, U.S. Career Institute and the students it serves benefit from:
- Proven high-quality education
- Continuous program assessment and improvement
- Increased institutional credibility and trust
- Easier facilitation of transfer credits

“Earning a high school education is often the first step toward entering one of many in-demand career fields,” Janet Perry, VP of Academics and Compliance at U.S. Career Institute said. “But not all high school programs are created equal, and choosing a non-accredited program can pose many challenges. That’s one of the many reasons we take our accreditation and curriculum development so seriously. Our DEAC accredited, and now MSCHE accredited, high school program is a great option for students who are seeking an alternative path to earning their high school diploma. And even better, they can easily transition from high school into one of our certificate or associate degree programs to kickstart their new careers.”
