Many faculty and program directors grimace when the word accreditation is mentioned. Accreditation should not be a negative concept, but rather it should be welcomed and embraced. It is all about quality assurance.
Accreditation is about meeting a set of standards or qualifications. It also includes using information gathered within the program to make informed decisions about how to improve the program.
With our experience we can provide guidance and assistance with accreditation related items to include:
Reviewing your ARC-PA application and Self-Study (SSR)
Preparing for a site visit with organizational strategies
Conducting a mock site visit
Interpreting the Self-Study 3-Year-Out Feedback
Responding to ARC-PA observations and citations
Assisting with reports due or program change forms
Designing a program self-assessment process
Conducting data analysis to produce understandable conclusions and logical action plans
Educating faculty about ARC-Standards and processes
