Wesley College remains fully accredited by the Middle States Association and is no longer on warning status with the accrediting association, Dr. William Johnston, president of the college, announced to faculty and staff on Nov. 19.

“We got confirmation (Nov. 18) that the Middle States board of directors has approved Wesley with being approved by Middle States,” Johnston said. “That is great news for the college.”

In the message, Johnston said the organization voted to “reaffirm accreditation and commend the institution for progress to date.”

The college will send progress report to Middle States in February 2012, and the next full review will be due June 1, 2016.

“Middle States accreditation is the overarching accreditation for Wesley and hundreds of other higher education institutions in this region,” Johnston said.
