Accreditation is the academic world's way of ensuring high quality educational
programs and services. Through the accreditation process, institutions are
recognized for meeting required quality standards in all areas of their work:
academic programs, teacher support, student services and more.
To become accredited, an institution must complete an extensive process that includes visits by a team of administrators and teachers sent by accrediting bodies who complete a deep evaluation and review of all the programs and services of the school.
Blackstone Career Institute is accredited by the:
Middle States Commission On Higher Education (CSSMSA)

Blackstone Career Institute is accredited by the:
Middle States Commission On Higher Education (CSSMSA)
Distance Education and Training Council (DETC)
These organizations periodically re-examine accredited schools to verify each school's ongoing commitment to quality. Blackstone Career Institute was last visited by the CSSMSA in October, 2006.
As a private school, Blackstone Career Institute is also licensed by the State Board of Private
Licensed Schools, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. This means that Blackstone has met the
requirements of the Private Licensed Schools Act of Pennsylvania.
Because we are accredited, we must conform to all educational and business standards of the DETC's & Middle States accrediting commissions, submit annual reports, and be re-examined every five years. In addition, any new courses we develop are reviewed by subject matter experts and approved by the two commissions.
