The result of this evaluation will determine our Accreditation status for the next five years. Beginning in January of 2001, the school will engage in a year of self-study to prepare for the formal evaluation. This section of the web site will keep the community informed as to the progress of this self-study. We will post notices of meetings, memberships of committees, and documents as they are produced. Accreditation is a method of responding to the public s demands for improved quality and greater accountability for institutions serving society s needs such as schools and hospitals.
Accreditation is based on dual concepts of self-regulation and quality improvement.
Accreditation refers to standard setting and review process. The focus is on institutional and organizational issues.
