Presentation Overview
The new 2001 WASC Handbook of Accreditation
outlines a three-phase review process:
Phase I:
Institutional Proposal |
Phase II:
Preparatory Review |
Phase III:
Educational Effectiveness Review |
 |
The campus' Institutional Proposal was approved by WASC in Fall 2002.
It outlines
our plan for the subsequent two phases of the accreditation. The submission
of the proposal is followed by the Preparatory Review, a self-assessment of
our base-line preparation or “Institutional Capacity” to meet the “Core
Commitments” required by WASC and to undergo the next phase in the review
process. In the final phase, the Educational Effectiveness Review, the
self-study report focuses on assessing how well we are meeting specific
educational objectives in three self-study topic areas as identified in our Institutional Proposal. These
are:
• Growth and Improvement of Graduate Student Programs
• Enhance Undergraduate Academic Engagement
• Improving Program Review Procedures
The Preparatory Review self-study culminates with a site visit in February
2004, by an external team of peer reviewers. The accreditation process will
conclude with the submission of the Educational Effectiveness self-study and
a final site visit in February 2005.
