| INTRODUCTION |
|
The accreditation standards by which an institution is measured have been developed for use in
evaluating its educational effectiveness. These standards are organized under two headings, as
follows: FOUNDATIONAL STANDARDS and OPERATIONAL STANDARDS. The standards are
designed to guide institutions from initial application through the periodic reassessment process
required of accredited institutions.
The Foundational Standards section and the Operational Standards section provide the
substantive issues that must be specifically and thoroughly addressed in the institution's Self-
Study Report to certify compliance.
It should be noted that BOTH the opening descriptive statements AND the standards and
evaluative criteria themselves are to serve as the basis of the institution's self-study process and
are to be addressed in the self-study report.
