| Abstract: | Statement of the problem. Accreditation is an imperfect and evolving system of quality and assessment for higher education and has been the subject of federal investigation and ridicule. Thus the Higher Learning Commission responded by creating the Academic Quality Improvement Project (AQIP), a modern form of accreditation designed to assist higher education with the quality assessment of programs and services to ensure student success. In seeking to understand the impact of AQIP on higher education accreditation, the researcher will explore the following questions: (1) How do administration, faculty, and professional staff view AQIP as compared with previous traditional accreditation practices? (2) How do the two views compare? (3) Is the mission of the institution affirmed and advanced by AQIP's Quality Criteria? (4) Is each AQIP activity clearly linked to teaching and learning and its impact realized? (5) Is the district making use of external feedback that goes beyond the confines of its own experience and faculty? |
