Accreditation

The Automotive & Diesel Service Program has received the Master Automobile Service Technology Accreditation from the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence.

In 2017, Mid received accreditation from the National Alliance of Concurrent Enrollment Partnerships (NACEP) for the courses the College offers at local high schools. NACEP works to ensure that college courses taught by high school teachers are as rigorous as courses offered on the sponsoring college campus. This accreditation ensures that Mid classes adhere to the highest standards so students experience a seamless transition to college.

Mid is the first public institution in Michigan to receive this recognition for excellence. Mid course offerings include disciplines such as Political Science, Math, and Biology. Courses are offered at local area high schools including Beaverton, Farwell, and Shepherd among others.

Mid's Commencement ceremony symbolizes the culmination of a student's academic efforts. It is an important and exciting day for students, their family, and their friends. Academic Affairs is an integral part of that day with faculty participating as marshals and name readers for the ceremony.

• building on the efforts of states to develop challenging academic and technical standards and to assist students in meeting the standards, including preparation for high-skill, high-wage, or high-demand occupations in current or emerging professions
• promoting the development of services and activities that integrate rigorous and challenging academic and technical instruction and link secondary and postsecondary education for participating students
• developing more fully the academic, vocational, and technical skills of secondary and post-secondary students who elect to enroll in vocational technical education programs
• promoting leadership and professional development and improves the quality of career and technical education faculty, administrators, and counselors
• supporting partnerships among educational levels, business and industry, and local advisory boards providing individuals with opportunities throughout their lifetimes to develop the knowledge and skills needed to remain competitive
