Are your institution’s academic programs both educationally effective and cost efficient?

Do your academic programs reflect the distinctive character of your institution's historic mission while meeting society's contemporary needs? As the 21st century unfolds, our small colleges and universities are challenged to preserve the values of the liberal arts while preparing students for new careers in a dynamic world of work. This environment demands that planning and decisions reflect timely and accurate measures of academic program performance and efficiency. The Academic Program ACESM is a comprehensive, campus-based, non-intrusive assessment that identifies opportunities for continuing improvement. During the Academic Program ACESM, questions including the following will be explored:
