Five Dimensions of Quality: A Common Sense Guide to Accreditation and Accountability
Accreditation is a topic of interest to every college and university, yet there is general confusion across all sectors of American higher education regarding regional accreditors' expectations. Most actions taken by regional accreditors require some follow-up, and in response to increasing regulation and calls for greater public accountability, accreditors' expectations have been steadily increasing. Both trends suggest that institutions could benefit from clearer guidance on what accreditors are looking for.
For those wading through the accreditation process, Five Dimensions of Quality: A Common Sense Guide to Accreditation and Accountability (Jossey-Bass, a Wiley brand; October 2014; $45.00) offers expert guidance on understanding the underlying principles of the expectations of accrediting bodies. Using the model presented in the book, American colleges and universities can understand what they need to do to earn and maintain their regional accreditation as well as improve overall institutional quality for their students.
By focusing on why colleges and universities should take particular actions as well as on what those actions should be, Five Dimensions of Quality: A Common Sense Guide to Accreditation and Accountability gives leaders, accreditation committee members and everyone on campus the knowledge and strategies to prepare for a successful review.
