Faculty benefit through ongoing professional development needed to ensure they are up to date with industry requirements.  Accrediting agencies also provide access to a network of faculty at other institutions for the sharing of “best practices.”

College

Feedback from the site visit teams aid in creating goals for self-improvement within the College; establishing criteria for improvement and development; continuous improvement within a program; identifies any possible weaknesses as well as strengths; and, ensures that the College hires faculty that meet the requirements set forth by the accrediting body. In addition to receiving accreditation status, the accrediting body provides an institution with access to additional services and valuable industry feedback.  It also aids in strengthening student learning, student achievement and continuous improvement.

Business programs are accredited by the Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs which requires programs be reviewed every 10 years, with two-year quality assurance reporting requirements.

After two successful accreditations, the College may extend accreditation an additional two years by completing an evolution review.
