Through the MSCHE self-study process, we hope to integrate the development of self-study design with strategic planning, and use the self-study process to further develop institutional planning and renewal processes, thereby ensuring that the self-study will be as useful and meaningful as possible. As a result, we anticipate the following outcomes:
- Demonstrate how the institution currently meets the Commission’s Standards for Accreditation and Requirements of Affiliation
- Focus on continuous improvement in the attainment of the institution’s mission and its institutional priorities
- Engage the institutional community in an inclusive and transparent self-appraisal process that actively and deliberately seeks to involve members from all areas of the institutional community
- Further the culture of continuous improvement through assessment practices
- Further link mission and the Lasallian values to the strategic planning and budgeting processes through continuous assessment
- Gain a better understanding of how academic programming, including courses and program offerings, link to the Lasallian mission and values
