ºì¶¹ÊÓÆµ strives for continuous improvement. This is guided by three interdependent processes. The Strategic Plan<\/strong><\/a> provides the vision for the future of the institution. The Middle States Re-Accreditation Process<\/strong> ensures the college continues to meet the Standards for Accreditation and that we are effectively doing what we say we are. In parallel, each academic department regularly undergoes a periodic Program Review<\/strong><\/a> to ensure that they are running well and to assess whether students are meeting the stated learning objectives and outcomes. <\/span><\/p>\n

The Middle States Re-Accreditation Process requires a comprehensive, institution-wide Self-Study. This provides the campus an opportunity:<\/span><\/p>\n
