What is Self-Study?
During the self-study process, Strayer University carefully considers its educational programs and services, with particular attention to student learning and achievement, and determines how well these programs and services accomplish its goals, fulfill its mission, and meet the Commission’s standards.
Under the leadership of a steering committee appointed by Strayer University, working groups or subcommittees examine existing data and evaluative reports, gather new information, and prepare analytical reports on their assigned topics. The purpose of the report is to demonstrate that the University is in compliance with MSCHE’s 14 Standards of Excellence in Higher Education.
Goals of the Self-Study Process
The self-study should provide MSCHE with evidence that the University is invested in a sustained and ethical process of improving student learning, instruction, the curriculum, planning, and the overall effectiveness of the University.
The self-study should also:
- Demonstrate to the Visiting Team, the Commission, and the University community that Strayer is willing to identify and address challenges, and to capitalize on its strengths.
- Be an educational experience for staff, faculty, and students, yielding a greater understanding of the importance of accreditation generally and the role of assessment in continuous improvement of institutional effectiveness and student learning in particular.
- Be instructive to faculty and staff regarding the roles they play in meeting MSCHE’s accreditation standards and in understanding how the standards relate to the University’s mission and Strategic Plan.
- Provide information that validates the new Strategic Plan or will identify changes that are needed to improve it.
