The 中间状态 Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE), through accreditation, requires that member institutions meet rigorous and comprehensive standards, which are addressed in the context of the mission of each institution and within the culture of ethical practices and institutional integrity expected of accredited institutions. An institution is accredited when the educational community has verified that its goals are achieved through self-regulation and peer review.

A process of continuous assessment and improvement is expected as part of that. MSCHE requires that the institution systematically evaluates its educational programs and related programs and makes public how well and in what ways it is accomplishing its purposes.

Responsibility for the 推荐最近最火的赌博软件 Medical University plan for program effectiveness is a function of the President’s University Executive Committee (UEC) through a new Committee on Institutional Effectiveness (CIE), and is supported by the Office of 认证 and 合规. The process includes the following:

1. Periodic review of all academic programs and departments on a rotating basis through a self-study process
2. Review by approximately 3-5 member Program Effectiveness 审查小组
3. Presentation to the UEC for review, recommendations and approval
4. Communication of recommendations by the CIE to academic program or administrative department

Although the content of these reports will vary according to the mission of the program/ department, an Internal Review Self-Study Template will be used to ensure linkage to the university mission, 目标设定, an evaluative process, and a plan for improvement. The process is designed to be formative and promote the effectiveness of planning, 资源分配, institutional renewal processes, and availability of resources.
