Prior to officially launching our self-study, two committees were created and charged with conducting an Assessment Review and a Needs Analysis in preparation for our self-study efforts.
After completing these activities and receiving approval of our Self-Study Design from the Middle States Commission on Higher Education, charges to the co-chairs of each Working Group were drafted. Because we chose to conduct a priority-based self-study, the MSCHE Standards for Affiliation and Requirements of Accreditation assigned to each Working Group were clearly outlined in the charges. A sample Working Group charge is shown below.
