Overview
Accreditation is the means of self-regulation and peer review adopted by
the educational community. The accrediting process is intended to strengthen and sustain the quality and integrity of higher education, making it worthy of public confidence and
minimizing the scope of external control.

Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools (MSA)
Middle States accreditation is an expression of confidence in an institution’s mission and goals, its performance, and its resources. The National Defense University is accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools. NDU received its initial accreditation
on February 1997, and the most recent reaffirmation visit was conducted 14-17 October 2001.

Process for Accreditation of Joint Education (PAJE)
In addition to the Middle States accreditation process, we are also accredited by the Department of
Defense through the Process for Accreditation of Joint Education (PAJE) from the
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The PAJE is guided by accepted civilian accreditation standards and practices tailored to the needs of the Joint Professional Military Education (JPME)
system. Conducted on a five-year cycle, this accreditation process also ensures that high standards and expectations are being achieved.
