The US Department of Education and the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) recognize 6 distinct educational regions, each of which is overseen by a different accrediting body. The Middle States Region is made up of the 5 states of Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania, plus the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The quality of the Hebrew, Rabbinical & Talmudic colleges and universities in this region is monitored through both the Association of Advanced Rabbinical and Talmudic Schools (AARTS) and accreditation by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools (MSCAS).
