The mission of the Accrediting Council for Independent

Colleges and Schools is to advance educational

excellence at independent, nonpublic career schools,

colleges, and organizations in the United States and

abroad. This is achieved through a deliberate and

thorough accreditation process of quality assurance

and enhancement as well as ethical business and

educational practices.

1

An effective career education enterprise generally comprises three elements: the admissions and enroll-ment process; the delivery of instruction and evaluation of student progress; and the completion, advising and post-graduation placement of students.

Reflecting back on more than two years of intense and unrelenting scrutiny, the colleges and schools accredited by ACICS have been tested on the standards of excellence in all three aspects. Early on, the primary focus was on the practices and integrity applied to the recruitment and admission of students, the front-end of the student experience. Later, the focus shifted to the back end of the process: the success of students post-graduation, measured by rate of placement, student indebtedness, rate of default on student loans and other proxies for institutional quality. More tangential issues such as enrollment of military personnel and executive compensation have distracted, not enhanced, a meaningful dialogue regarding quality and integrity.

In 2011, the emphasis shifted to the heart of the enterprise, focusing greater at-tention on the quality of the educational experience itself, with a particular interest on transparent and data-driven measures of student achievement.

Accreditation by ACICS requires strong institutional compliance with standards regarding how students are recruited and enrolled, as well as outcomes that manifest post-completion. However, no element of the ACICS program of accreditation is more important or comprehensively represented throughout the enterprise than that of stu-dent achievement and the quality of the student educational experience. Measuring and evaluating student achievement in an objective but transparent manner, driven by data, is a high standard indeed. It constitutes a program of quality assurance that will only grow more rigorous as data collection, evaluation and interpretation methods become more sophisticated.

While these reflections may seem abstract and aspirational, they are intended with a high degree of seriousness and strong commitment by the Council. Based on many years – or several decades – of observing, evaluating and encountering students in the classrooms of colleges and schools bearing the ACICS imprimatur, the Council and its cadre of peer evaluators apply a level of comprehensive review to student achievement that will meet or exceed that which can be derived from quantitative data alone. Yet the demonstration of quality through measures quantitative is important for purposes of comparison and transparency. No post-secondary institutions are better aligned in their missions and operational protocols with the discipline of evaluating student achievement than those within the pur-view of ACICS. The current wave of external scrutiny washing over ACICS colleges and schools provides the occasion to fortify and embrace a strong culture of accountability, quality and excellence, tested in broad daylight.

The reflections on 2011 contained in this report are offered as a capsule of the tests applied to institu-tional quality and the integrity of ACICS accreditation through 12 months. The expectations and threshold of ‘satisfactory’ have never been greater. Those expectations were expressed on numerous occasions, in front of Congress, in front of recognition authorities, in the news media and by elected state officials. Many executives, leaders and administrators from ACICS institutions confronted those expectations directly and with dignity.

Like the challenges, the opportunities have never been greater for those leaders, colleges and schools with the intensity to demonstrate excellence at every opportunity. The beginning of the ACICS Centennial Year is an appropriate moment to harness that intensity. Excellence tested is excellence proven.

ACICS member institutions derive significant benefit from their association with the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA), which reviews and recognizes the authority of ACICS as an accreditor every ten years. At least half of the colleges and schools under the ACICS imprimatur must offer degree programs in order for the agency to be eligible for CHEA recognition. All regional accrediting bodies are CHEA recog-nized, along with many programmatic accreditors. ACICS and the Distance Education and Training Council (DETC) are the only national institutional accreditors recognized by CHEA.

As part of its re-recognition review by CHEA, ACICS was informed that it needs to adopt a standard that requires public disclosure by member institutions of effectiveness and accountability, including evidence of student learning. Based on that finding, the Council adopted and applied new criteria that require campus-level disclosure of such aggregate measures as on-time graduation and placement. The application of that new expectation to member colleges and schools will be the basis for ACICS to complete its recognition review by CHEA.

In the spirit of accountability and transparency, once every five years ACICS is subject to review by the Accreditation and State Liaison (ASL) division of the U.S. Department of Education. Formally known as “recogni-tion,” the process begins with a large submission of narrative and exhibits in the form of an application. That is followed by an analysis by Department ASL staff professionals and a response by ACICS. The process culmi-nates in a hearing before the National Advisory Committee on Institutional Quality and Integrity (NACIQI), where ACICS defends its request for re-recognition in

Retaining Authority to Measure Quality

person, with the higher educa-tion community and the public in attendance. Commissioners Gary Carlson and Roger Swartzwelder joined ACICS senior management in a dialogue with NACIQI regard-ing the re-recognition request.

ACICS received a one-year continuance from the Department pending resolution of several issues, not the least of which was the absence of program-level expectations and standards applied to member institutions. During the second half of the year, Council and staff developed draft program level standards, solicited feedback from a wide array of stakeholders,

and memorialized program level standards in the ACICS Accreditation Criteria that are now being applied to ACICS colleges and schools. ACICS will have an opportunity soon to defend its compliance with Department re-quirements for recognition based on program level standards and accreditation review. The agency aspires to have re-recognition fi-nalized by late 2012 or early 2013.

Public Disclosures of Institutional Excellence

One of the more challenging regulations from the U.S. Department of Education is a new definition of a credit hour and related ratios for calculating clock-to-credit hour conversion. All accreditors are required to ensure that institutions assign credit hours for purposes of awarding financial aid in a manner that reflects a reliable and accurate appli-cation of the ratios. Through close communication with the Department of Education, ACICS devel-oped a process whereby institutions may receive an official review if they seek to include out-of-class assignments in the conversion. While there were differences in interpretation of Department regula-

ACICS has applied campus-level standards for student achievement (retention and placement rates) for decades, but the development of new program-level standards will strengthen and complement exist-ing measures. The new program-level standards serve as a floor below which no single program may fall. Even though a campus may meet or exceed retention or placement rate standards on average across all programs, the program-level will ensure that programs whose rates fall below the average for retention or placement will be subject to Council scrutiny, remediation, and sanctions.

New program-level standards include licensure pass rates for programs in fields where licensure is required for entry-level employment, in the state where the institution is located, and where licensure is awarded by examination.

Excellence at the Program Level

tions among accreditation agencies, ACICS institu-tions have received reliable and consistent guidance regarding the clock hour-credit hour conversion process from the start.

ACICS will develop procedures to review each institution’s policies and procedures and the process through which it applies the federal definition of a credit hour to assign credit hours to degree courses and programs. This will include more definition regarding what evaluators should look for when reviewing course syllabi and interviewing students and faculty.

In an effort to increase consistency and reduce the reporting burden on institutions, the ACICS 2011 Campus Accountability Report (CAR, formerly Annual Institutional Report) integrated existing report elements into a new membership database. The integration will help improve the integrity and accuracy of program-level data at a time when poli-cymakers, the media and the public are asking more questions about the programs provided by accred-ited institutions. Information about academic pro-grams captured in the database from applications for new programs, program changes, and from the CAR establishes one source for all program informa-tion. The CAR also was designed to roll-up informa-tion from the program level to the campus level, reducing the reporting burden on campuses which previously had to submit two separate reports, one at each level. Members can expect to see continued improvements in the CAR because the foundation has been built for an annual accountability report that meets the emerging needs of ACICS.

The gap between the supply of trained workers and the demand for such a workforce came into sharp focus during the inaugural ACICS thought leadership forum in Washington, D.C. entitled “Workforce Skills Reality Check.” Based on new research commissioned by ACICS, a panel of prominent policy and business leaders discussed the findings that only seven percent of hiring decision-makers believe the post-sec-ondary education system does an “excellent” job preparing students for the workforce, while 54 percent said it does a “good” job and 39 percent said “only fair” or “poor.” Forty-five percent of decision-makers believe that most students would be better served by an education that specifically prepares them for the workplace.

Graduates from career colleges and schools, such as the students who complete programs at ACICS-accredited institutions, are crucial to sustaining the economic competitiveness of the nation.

Overall, hiring decision-makers surveyed said it is difficult to find the right applicants to fill open positions. Fifty-four percent of hiring decision-makers reported that the process of finding applicants with the necessary skill and knowledge set is difficult, and only 16 per-cent said that applicants are “very prepared” with the knowledge and skills they would need for the job. Sixty-three percent said applicants are “somewhat prepared” and nearly one-quarter say applicants are unprepared. Furthermore, employers indicate that finding qualified applicants is becoming more difficult. (View the webcast at www.acics.org.)

Measuring Skills for Workforce Participation

To fortify a legacy of success in meeting the work-force needs of the nation, ACICS, working with various strategic partners, intends to promote the success of career education students through the development and awareness of new business models and metrics; academic innovations; and intellectual resources and insightful research.

Models and Metrics give priority to business models that are based on success rather than sales. ACICS is working with the American Institutes for Research to develop a comprehensive metric of graduation intended to be more useful than tradi-tional metrics. It will utilize current, cohort-based information that includes all graduates, regardless of part-time or full-time status, the number of cred-its transferred or the time to complete a program. It represents a measure of completion that is relevant to non-traditional students and working adults who represent more than 50% of all students currently enrolled in post-secondary education in all sectors across the United States.

Academic Innovations are under develop-ment through collaborative efforts with experts on student financial aid from the U.S. Department of Education. ACICS is pioneering an approach to lower the numbers of students who default on student loans by focusing on the connection be-tween graduation and loan default. These in-school strategies differ from traditional mitigation-of-loan default tactics by focusing on what schools do best – leveraging the connection between academic success and career success. A strong link between student success and lower student loan default rates increases public and private return on invest-ment in career education and demonstrates greater accountability. Student loans defaults will also be mitigated through a renewed emphasis on innova-tion and learning productivity. Given competing demands on the time and attention of many career college students, the academic leadership of ACICS’ institutions is encouraged to make learning produc-

Student Success as Core Principle

tivity a high priority and permanent aspiration.

Research and Intellectual Resources will be ap-plied through collaborations with various strategic partners, including the National Forum for Career Success. ACICS is identifying resources that member institutions can use to enhance the career success of students. Some of the focus is on the resource space with tools to diagnose the career motivation and the academic engagement of career education students. Another focus is on the content of founda-tional learning outcomes in terms of cognitive and non-cognitive knowledge and skill sets, such as the “Workforce Skills Reality Check.” (See page 7)

ACICS will continue to develop and share the results of the Student Success Initiative with the Council and member institutions. Additionally, input from current students and recent graduates will be sought through Career Success Webinars, and ad-vice from employers will be solicited by establishing a National Advisory Committee on Career Student Success. Throughout ACICS’ Centennial year, a series of policy forums will be offered on new and news-worthy topics such as the “Workforce Skills Reality Check” in order to drive policy considerations that link educational quality to career student success.

With participation from valued strategic partners, ACICS launched the career student success initiative to support the nation’s aspirations for greater economic competitiveness, economic recovery, and economic strength. The goal of the initiative is to continue the progress made by ACICS-accredited campuses over the last decade, during which the number of students who graduated and completed programs each year grew by 91%, and the number of graduates who were employed in a field related to their field of study grew by 56%.

Economic competitiveness is relevant to career college student success because the competitive-ness of the U.S. is tied to the knowledge and skills of its workforce. National goals have been articulated to increase the level of educational attainment of the do-mestic workforce. Graduates from independent career colleges and schools, including the more than 170,000 students who completed programs at more than 900 ACICS-accredited campuses last year, will be crucial to sustaining economic competitiveness.

Economic Recovery has cache in the discussion of student success because even as an economic reces-sion persists, new jobs are being created but are going unfilled due to a lack of employees with appropriate education and applicable skills. To help the nation emerge from recession, independent colleges and schools must continue and expand their contribu-tion by providing career education aligned with job creation. Last year more than 100,000 graduates from ACICS-accredited institutions were employed shortly after completing their credentials; most were em-ployed in an area related to their field of study.

Economic Strength is an important element of the student success initiative because sustainable economic stability requires that chronic shortages in such fields as health care and technology must be ad-dressed through post-secondary education. Traditional public and private sectors are not deliberately or formally structured to strengthen these aspects of the economy; the role is therefore even more critical for independent career colleges and schools.

Track Record of Supporting Economic Goals

11

By invitation or through initia-tive, leaders at ACICS colleges and schools periodically have the opportunity to defend and explain the fidelity of their education enterprise to public policy makers at high levels. One such high-profile oppor-tunity was presented to ACICS Commissioner Jeanne Herrmann, Chief Operating Officer at Globe University/Minnesota School of Business. Herrmann testified before the U.S. House Education

& Workforce Committee hearing entitled, “Education Regulations: Roadblocks to Student Choice in Higher Education." In testi-fying in support of the Kline/Foxx/Hastings/McCarthy/Payne amendment to the Continuing Resolution, Herrmann explained some of the consequences of “gainful employment” regulations proposed by the Department of Education. Herrmann testi-fied that the proposed regula-tions would “restricts choice

and access” by students who were underserved by traditional higher education. She called for the Department to better define the problem in order to develop “more common sense solutions.” She indicated support for “rea-sonable and fair” regulation,” and defended the “great value to students, employers and com-munities” provided by indepen-dent colleges and exemplified by Globe University.

Defending Excellence Before Congress

ACICS took a big leap in supporting the advance-ment of member colleges and schools through access to best practices and good thinking in the sector. In September, more than 170 career educa-tion professionals attended ACICS’ first stand-alone professional development conference, “Student Success: It Takes A College” in Charleston, South Carolina. Designed to support the advancement of member schools, the two-day program of-fered five different leadership tracks: Retention Begets Completion Begets Employment, Economic

Realities of Gainful Employment and Placement, Planning and Achieving Institutional Effectiveness, Transparency in Recruitment and Admissions, and The Art of Teaching and the Science of Learning. The sessions featured panels of experts who facili-tated the instruction and discussion.

Professional development opportunities are now an integral part of ACICS annual meetings, including the conference in 2012 that is coinciden-tal with the Centennial celebration in Las Vegas in November.

ACICS appreciates all of our professional peer evaluators for the dedication and service provided to the Council and its mission. The Council recognized those who demonstrated excellence in peer evaluation as outstanding chair, student relations, and program evaluator. The individuals were selected by other evalu-ators, site team chairs, and ACICS staff. Below, they share their thoughts about the role of the evaluator and student success.

CHAIR OF THE YEAR Lonnie Echternacht

“

”

Being involved in the evaluation process has allowed me to observe how professional, techni-cal, and occupational programs continue to improve and meet the workforce development needs of today’s workplace. Serving on ACICS evaluation teams is professionally rewarding because the process focuses on increasing the competence of program graduates and improv-ing the quality of the programs that are currently being offered at increasingly higher levels. It is critical that independent career schools/colleges/universities maintain high standards and prepare students to become responsible and productive in their chosen careers, their families, their communities, and their world.

EVALUATOR OF THE YEAR William McPherson

“

”

Serving as an evaluator allows me to evaluate not only people, but programs as well. It shows me the value of evaluation from many sides – from that of the student, the teacher, and the school. Evaluation is a window that allows those outside to see what is happening within. It is a mirror to show the school how it looks to itself. It is a magnifying glass which points out small imperfections that may go unnoticed. But what is satisfying to me is that it also can bring to light all the good that is being done. I feel gratified in knowing that evaluation helps schools’ programs, which ultimately helps the students. My ultimate goal as an evaluator is also my ultimate goal as an educator – to help students achieve success.

”

STUDENT RELATIONS EVALUATOR OF THE YEAR Judith Anderson-Kotts

“

Being an evaluator is not glamorous and it is hard work. At the start of every visit, team mem-bers come together as a group of strangers but part as a family having learned and shared together. As evaluators we are seeing the evidence of student success and knowing that the accreditation process works. For me, personally, I have been privileged to work with some of the greatest people and each one is a true educator.
