Background
The Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) is one of six regional associations that accredit public and private schools, colleges, and universities in the United States. The Accrediting Commission for Senior Colleges and Universities accredits accredits public and private senior colleges and universities. The accreditation review pro- cess is based on large part on a self-assessment and involves an institutional presentation developed in three stages:
- Stage 1: The Institutional Proposal (due May 2006) - describes what we propose to include in stage 2 and 3 and how we execute our self-assessment
- Stage 2: the Preparatory Review (Fall 2008) - 1-2 day site visit that should evaluate key institutional resources, structures, and processes in the light of the Commission’s Standards. The commission will prepare a report of issues that need to be addressed in the final educational effectiveness review.
- Stage 3: The Educational Effectiveness Review (Fall 2009) - This is a 2-3 day site visit, whose primary purpose is to invite sustained engagement by the institution on the extent to which the institution fulfills its educational objectives.
The cycle of review is intended to be a maximum of ten years, providing institutions a three-year period to complete the process of self review and external evaluation, followed by an extended period of time for sustaining initiatives and recommendations resulting from this process.
