Accreditation & Reaffirmation

In order to measure institutional effectiveness, SACSCOC requires institutions to demonstrate a system of continuous improvement at all levels. When reviewing academics, SACSCOC asks that the schools focus on individual academic programs (what we usually call “degree programs”), and that each program has a clear set of Student Learning Outcomes. For most departments in the College, this simply means providing evaluation information for either the  B.A. or a B.S. degree offered by their department. However, a smaller percentage of departments offer 2 or more degrees, meaning that those programs must demonstrate efforts for continuous improvement for the number of undergraduate degrees they confer, even if they have a program with a small number of majors.
