Describe Progress:
2015-16
All activities mentioned above are being done annually. In addition, our quality assurance report was just submitted and reviewed. The results from ACBSP are below:
The Associate Degree Board of Commissioners met on April 12, 2016, and reviewed your Quality Assurance Report. After review, the board voted to accept your report. The Board provided the following comments:
Place a Condition on III in the QA report: (applies to Criterion 6.11 in the Standards and Criteria book). Accredited business programs must routinely provide reliable information to the public on their performance, including student achievement. A direct link to aggregate business student results should be placed on your business page website. The following items must be available to the public for accreditation.
1. Student Learning Outcome Assessment Results: Such as what you report in standard #4, ETS, MFT, accounting assessment, management assessment, critical thinking, communication, etc. A link to Table 2 found in the evidence file must be placed on your website.
2. Program Results for Business Students: Such as graduation rates, retention rates, job placement, etc. How do you make the results public? A link to Table 7 found in the evidence file must be placed on your website. Ensure the link goes directly to business students' results such as the example on the ACBSP website located under associate degree accreditation.
The Condition must be removed by February 15, 2020. Progress on the Conditions and Notes must be reported in future Quality Assurance Reports; it is not necessary to report on OFIs.
Maintain Note on Standard 3: Stakeholder information has not been collected and utilized consistently. The employer focus group survey has only one year of data. Three cycles of data are required as a minimum. Data for job placement rates have been collected since 2006 with a goal of 90% placement rate. However, this goal has not been met since 2006. Although it is indicated that improvements have been made in 2013, the institution has failed to post the most recent graph which does not allow the possibility of reviewing the data. Student satisfaction data with four years of exceeding the goal is commendable. However, there is a concern that no information has been posted since 2011. Employer satisfaction as a performance measure was terminated in 2010. Of the five
performance measures listed, no action is given for improvement for four of the five measurements. Additionally, graphs need to be brought up to date.
There is an opportunity for improvement (OFI) in standard #5: Wiseman should be qualified with the MBA and CPA as professionally qualified versus Masters Qualified.
