Ithaca College has received approval to launch its Master of Science in physician assistant studies, which will admit students beginning in Fall 2021. 

In order for Ithaca College to award students with legitimate degrees, it has to go through an accreditation process by the Middle States Commission.

A year into his tenure as the Integrative Core Curriculum director, Vincent DeTuri said he and the Committee on College-Wide Requirements are planning to make the ICC more manageable by changing some of its requirements after facing complaints among faculty and students that there are still many problems with the ICC.

Mounted frustration at Ithaca College with the speed of the implementation of IC 20/20 has brought forth questions about how Middle States, Ithaca College’s regional accreditor, is linked to new curriculum deadlines.
