Accreditation and Assessment

The Office of Accreditation and Assessment supports the college’s commitment to academic excellence.

The office maintains institutional accreditation and supports faculty, administrators, and staff in sustaining program quality through programmatic accreditation. It also facilitates the assessment of student learning—a process used to understand what students know, think, and can do as a result of their educational experiences. Through these efforts, the college upholds high standards for teaching, learning, and continuous improvement.
