The Middle States Association has three accrediting commissions*:
- The commission on Higher Education [dba as Mid-Atlantic Region Commission on Higher Education (MARCHE)] serves academic, degree-granting institutions and evaluates and accredits post-secondary institutions and programs;
- The Commission on Secondary Schools (MSA-CSS) evaluates and accredits institutions providing middle and/or secondary education, including vocational-technical schools that offer non-degree-granting post-secondary programs; and
- The Commission on Elementary Schools (MSA-CES) serves institutions that provide middle, elementary, and early age education.
- Together, the elementary and secondary Commissions – operating as the Commissions on Elementary and Secondary Schools – serve institutions providing early age through grade 12 or 13 education or any combination of grade levels served by the Commissions.
