Academic Program Review
For background information, it may be useful to consult the recommendations of the Middle States Commission on Higher Education, our regional accrediting body. The 2002 edition of its Characteristics of Excellence in Higher Education—which gives eligibility requirements and standards for accreditation—emphasizes assessment, including a requirement that student learning outcomes be assessed. The Characteristics are posted on the Commission website; posted here are a summary of the new standards and complete copy in pdf.
