Accreditation

Quality Control through Peer Review - Higher Education's Gatekeeper

What makes higher education different?  Accreditation.  So why do so many academics go through their entire careers with only limited knowledge of what it is or why we do it?  I was fortunate to be exposed to the work of accreditation early in my academic career, and as a result I have been involved in accreditation work not only at FHSU but as a Peer Review Corps member for the Higher Learning Commission.  Since joining the University of West Georgia, I have been nominated for and accepted onto the peer review corps in our regional accrediting body, SACS-COC.
