Columbia received approval from the Commission to adopt the "selected topics" model for accreditation. This model allows established institutions to concentrate their efforts on a particular area of interest, by engaging in a "self-study." The focus of Columbia's self-study is the globalization of education at Columbia. Because the self-study speaks to only a portion of our educational programming, we have also conducted a comprehensive document review to demonstrate our adherence to the MSCHE 14 Standards of Excellence.
