The self study covers such areas as the quality and quantity of students and faculty, quality of the curriculum, type of facilities, available technology, diversity issues and the international programs. The self study is submitted in June for a committee to review and raise additional questions before the reaccreditation. Maurice Stark is the coordinator for the self study but the department heads, the dean and other faculty gather the information and submit it to Stark. The visitation committee then decides whether the College of Business deserves reaccreditation. Now I understand the importance of graduating from an accredited institution.
Employers really look for that.
K-State, the University of Kansas and Wichita State are the only colleges in Kansas that have accredited business programs. K-State is the only college in Kansas to have the accounting program separately accredited. Ebadi said reaccreditation is an ongoing process. I am confident we have the tools to earn reaccreditation.
