Departmental procedures for conducting assessment
The Business Department is accredited by the Accreditaiton COuncil for Business Schools and Programs. The Department was
initially accredited in 1997 and was reaccredited in 2007. In 2009 and 2011 the Department submitted biennial Quality
Assurance Reports which were approved by the ACBSP. Another biennial report will be prepared and submitted in September
2013. A key component of the accrecitation process is the assessment of courses and
curricula.The Department has developed a protocol that places it on a three-year assessment cycle. The assessments that have
been completed have been uploaded to the College web site. Assessements and outcomes are shared with the faculty at
regualar department and discipline area meetings.Recommendations for changes in courses and curricula come about as a
result of such discussions. This allows us to "close the loop" with regard to assessment. The Middle States assessment team
praised the Department for its program of "continuous improvement."
