Higher Education Policy

An Evaluation of Quality

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The American system of higher education was established in the 17th century institutions have set up standards to ensure that they provide the best education possible through quality control. Throughout history quality in institutions of higher education has been left up to the local communities and these communities have taken on the role as the primary adjudicator for the quality control in colleges and universities in the United States. The primary objective of the process of accreditation is to ensure that the educational institutions in the United States supply suitable levels of quality and understanding. To ensure a standard of quality understanding and control the practice of accreditation was created as a way to conduct nongovernmental, peer reviews of institutions that provide education to the public. Independent educational associations of regional or national levels assist in the development of quality control. These accreditation bodies have developed measures to evaluate institutions of higher education to determine if these institutions are functioning at an acceptable level of quality or if they have a functioning level that is of the highest caliber.
