Accreditation When granted, accreditation by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities is not partial. It applies to the entire institution in operation at the time of the most recent comprehensive evaluation. It indicates that the institution as a whole is substantially achieving its mission and that it meets the Commission's expectations for compliance with the accreditation criteria.
Does Accreditation Matter? Earning regional accreditation is important for colleges because it allows students to receive federal financial aid and helps students transfer credits to other institutions.
Does Accreditation Matter? Compton Community College, in California, a large two-year public institution--Action: Accreditation removed. The institution remains accredited pending an appeal. Barber-Scotia College, in Concord, N.C., a small, historically black, four-year Presbyterian institution--Action: accreditation rescinded. D-Q University, in Davis, Calif., a small, comprehensive community college and California's only tribal institution--Action: show cause -- the last step before loss of accreditation

Professional AccreditationPrescriptive Standards In 2001, the Foster College of Business Administration at Bradley received its third reaffirmation of full accreditation from AACSB International - The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business for both business and accounting programs. With only…163 having achieved both accounting and business accreditation. This puts Bradley in an elite groups of schools.
Possibilities 1) We believe we know something, and we have evidence to support our belief. 2) We believe we know something, but we don’t have evidence to support our belief. 3) We don’t know anything, but we could know something if we had evidence. 4) We don’t know anything, and we believe knowledge is unattainable.
The Scientific Method 1. Observe some aspect of the universe. 2. Invent a tentative description, called a hypothesis, that is consistent with what you have observed. 3. Use the hypothesis to make predictions. 4. Test those predictions by experiments or further observations and modify the hypothesis in the light of your results. 5. Repeat steps until there are no discrepancies between theory and experiment and/or observation.
Do Inputs Matter? Accrediting standards, which are overwhelmingly concerned with institutional inputs and processes rather than academic results, have done nothing to arrest any of those trends.
Do inputs matter? Lemon Spaghetti Recipe courtesy Giada De Laurentiis 1 pound spaghetti 2/3 cup olive oil 2/3 cup grated Parmesan 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (about 3 lemons) Salt and freshly ground black pepper 1 tablespoon lemon zest 1/3 cup chopped fresh basil leaves Cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes. Meanwhile, whisk the oil, Parmesan, and lemon juice in a large bowl to blend. Drain the pasta, reserving 1 cup of the cooking liquid. Toss the pasta with the lemon sauce, and the reserved cooking liquid, adding 1/4 cup at a time as needed to moisten. Season with salt and pepper. Garnish with lemon zest and chopped basil.
SEVEN PRINCIPLES FOR GOOD PRACTICEIN UNDERGRADUATE EDUCATION Good practice in undergraduate education: encourages contact between students and faculty, develops reciprocity and cooperation among students, encourages active learning, gives prompt feedback, emphasizes time on task, communicates high expectations, and respects diverse talents and ways of learning. By Arthur W. Chickering and Zelda F. Gamson
Question? Should you examine inputs, process, or outcomes?
Assessment & Accreditation Observation: In many parts of Europe, medieval farmers stored grain in barns with thatched roofs (like Shakespeare’s house). As a roof aged, it was not uncommon for it to start leaking. This could lead to spoiled or moldy grain, and of course there were lots of mice around. “Conclusion”: It was obvious to them that the mice came from the moldy grain.
