Office of Accreditation and Assessment

The mission of the Office of Accreditation and Assessment is to ensure that the College provides sufficient evidence that it meets national, state, and institutional standards and that such evidence is beneficial to students and programs. 

Specifically, the OAA goals are:

• Monitoring the assessment process by academic and administrative units.

• Managing self-studies in preparation for AAQEP and MSCHE reaccreditation visits.

• Keeping abreast of all new regulations and requirements through official communications and professional publications and forums.

• Assisting academic programs in self-studies and external program reviews.

• Collecting and analyzing college-wide data to be used for planning, decision-making, and institutional improvement.

• Developing and maintaining electronic databases and collections of records on student learning outcomes and institutional effectiveness.
